The Light Of the Manitou

….our tipi at dawn …….

After visiting the magnificent Wiki PowWow on Manitoulin Island Ontario

The honour of making a Sacred Fire is a cleansing experience

It is then that we give our thanks for the bringing the new day.

All tipi’s have their openings facing nature’s alarm clock - the eastern rising sun

Making sure nobody is late for the mornings’ sunrise ceremony at dawn! nh

                                                         a summer refresher

                                                      After fighting the traffic
                                                      Smog and humidity
                                                      You arrive
                                                      The crickets are calling
                                                      You take that first step
                                                      And are immediately
                                                      Heaven scent.    nh

                                       Polar bears

There is nothing as sweet

As a cuddle from mother

White as the driven snow

With hugs and snuggles

And loving bear cuddles

It’s a comfort that you know!!! nh

"Bubblious"

That glorious moment of peace & joy

Alone in a luxurious bath

Soothing scents of lavender & musk

Bubbles filling the air

But the most ultimate pleasure still remains

Finding that sensual you! nh

"Playing with Fire"

Our prayers for peace & happiness

Are sent throughout the universe

By healers and shamans and prayer circles alike

Our most famous imaging Buddha

We choose to mark our time with watches

The cogs in the wheels moving towards our future

As we plan our actions ahead of the game

So as never to loose a single second

We bring our offspring along the way

Prompting the jump to be higher, the leap farther

The boundaries becoming endless

Chasing the fire that burns from within

TO show us the way forward

TO bring us along the path of discovery

TO enlightened, rehearse and play

TO live until the fire burns out. nh

"MOMMY & ME" ….welcoming spring…

The youngest foal playfully dances by Mom

As blowing spring blossoms float all around

Rejoicing

Praising

Confidence abounds

Reflecting upon such innocence

Our newborn’s safe and sound! nh

"Mommy & Me watercolour 14"x11"h framed $125.00 *

"Country Home"
quite bliss

Just a quietly peaceful place with

Memories of respite & contentment

That if you are not lucky enough to have found

                                   You can borrow mine, to make them your own. nh
