Buffalo

The other day I had a very clear vision.  The first time I ever had a clear vision I was 19; high up  in the mountains pursing a vision quest.  At that time, after two days, I clearly saw in my mind a coyote walking and playing in the mountains.

This past week I was struggling trying to sleep with many things on my mind.  After about three nights with no rem sleep, it was a vision like I was right there.  I was out on the prairie and a few Buffalo started to go by me then a few more until the horizon was filled with Buffalo.  I had no fear of the Buffalo and they had no fear of me.  It was a very spiritual moment for me.

I am not sure yet what this means to me, but I think it was ment to give me some peace. I think my mind was looking for some calmness.  I think it ment that I should just take things easy and the world will unfold in front of me the way it should.
One of the Cowboy singers I listen too put it this way, much more elegant than I can.

Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high 
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky 
And live like you ain't afraid to die 
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride

That is what it is all about

I have to share a cool story.  Being a member of SRKU we are able to experience things that other people do not get to experience.  We as a group are able to go out into the community and are able to make noticeable impacts on peoples lives.

 As I was walking to my car after the parade on Saturday, the traffic was slow and was going along at the same pace I was walking.  An older lady rolled down her window and said Hi to me.  I said Hi back.  It looked like she was being driven by her daughter.  She asked me if I enjoyed the parade.  I said it was a great day.  She then thanked me and  SRKU for making the parade a great event and for our group being a part of it.  I was blown away.  I said "You are welcome, I was glad I could be part of it."

She smiled and the traffic picked up and the car moved on.  I comprehended this for a moment.  Just being there, putting in some effort, we were able to make someones day special. 

For me that is what it is all about.
