Walking Is The Exact Balance Between Spirit

As A Poet I Hold The Most Archaic Values On Earth . . . The Fertility Of The Soil, The Magic Of Animals, The Power-vision In Solitude, The Terrifying Initiation And Rebirth, The Love And Ecstasy Of The Dance, The Common Work Of The Tribe. I Try To Hold Both History And The Wilderness In Mind, That My Poems May Approach The True Measure Of Things And Stand Against The Unbalance And Ignorance Of Our Times.

Having A Place Means That You Know What A Place Means...what It Means In A Storied Sense Of Myth, Character And Presence But Also In An Ecological Sense...integrating Native Consciousness With Mythic Consciousness

We . . . Must Try To Live Without Causing Unnecessary Harm, Not Just To Fellow Humans But To All Beings. We Must Try Not To Be Stingy, Or To Exploit Others. There Will Be Enough Pain In The World As It Is.

Stay Together Learn The Flowers Go Light

With No Surroundings There Can Be No Path, And With No Path One Cannot Become Free.
