105th madness

(photos)

Like all paths, this one leads to self discovery. A culmination of perseverance and attrition. For some it comes quickly, for others, not so quickly. But eventually the seekers find. Outcomes differ. Some leave, some stay, some share the word, some covet it, but all evolve. All touch understanding.

“There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.”
- Joseph Joubert

100th Madness

To think, "I will not think"--
This, too, is something in one's thoughts.
Simply do not think
About not thinking at all.

99th madness

"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."

98th madness

"When we become hollow bones there is no limit to what the Higher Powers can do in and through us in spiritual things."

-Frank Fools Crow

97th madness

"You see, I had been riding with the storm clouds, and had come to earth as rain, and it was drought that I had killed with the power that the Six Grandfathers gave me."
-Black Elk

And the water flowed
To where
The pebble rolled
To where
It is not

Thank you all for coming....
