The RiverCoyote's Returnposted 22 Sep 2012, 23:15To ALL my Brother and Sisters in the World of KAT
River Coyote has returned...the Month of Jagged Rocks and Poison Arrows has finally come to an end. Many of you may recall that this time of trials began with the sudden passing of my best friend, who died peacefully in his sleep on August 8th.  The very next day, I brought my wife into the Hospital, where she remained for several days. Once she returned, I had to assist my best friend's wife with the arrangements for her husband. I swore to him a few months previously that I would see his ashes to their final resting place...alongside his son who had passed ten years ago. I traveled over 700 miles in one day, but I kept my word. Sage and an Eagle Feather took the Journey to the next world with his ashes. He was buried in the same way as the great warriors of old.  Oh, did I fail to say that while all this was happening, our Landlady gave us notice to move out...30 day notice, that is! We were officially moved out on August 31st...and moved into a room at the local Motel. There, we discovered the fine art of cooking in an electric frying pan, Housekeeping, and the peaceful scream of a fully loaded Train at all hours of the day and night. Ahhh...sweet bliss! wrong image Finally, after many days of trials and tribulations, the sun started to shine through the clouds. We found a new place to live and have now moved in completely. Many things have happened in the last month...many time I've shed tears of fire...the people I've lost...the pain I've endured...and yes, many times I've thought about the world of KAT and the friends that have been keeping me and my family in their thoughts and prayers. This SALUTE is to all of you. Thank you for being there Spiritually for US. Together, we are one...and for that I am truly grateful.  |

Forget about the days when its been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun
Forget about mistakes that you can't change now,
but don't forget the lessons that you've learned
Forget about the times you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you've won
Forget about misfortunes you encounter,
but don't forget the times your luck has turned
Forget about the days when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right,
but... Don't forget to Always Have A Dream

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Go in peace my friend.

Life offers us the opportunity to become a Spiritual Warrior.
A warrior is one who bravely goes into those dark areas within
themselves to ferret out the Truth of their being.
It takes great courage, stamina and endurance to
become a Spiritual Warrior.
.
The path is narrow, the terrain rough and rocky.
You will walk alone: through the dark caves,
up those steep climbs and through the dense thick forest.
You will meet your dark side. The faces of fear, deceit, and
sadness all await your arrival.
.
No one can take this journey but you.
There comes a time, in each of our lives,
when we are given the choice to follow this path.
Should we decide to embark on this journey,
we can never turn back.... Our lives are changed forever
On this journey, there are many different places we can
choose to slip into and hide. But the path goes on.
The Spiritual Warrior stays the course, wounded at times,
exhausted and out of energy. Many times, the Warrior will
struggle back to their feet to take only a few steps before
falling again.
.
Rested, they forge on,
continuing the treacherous path.
The journey continues. The Spiritual Warrior
stays the course. Weakened, but never broken.
One day, the battle, loneliness and desperate fights are over.
The sun breaks through the clouds; the birds begin to sing
their sweet melodies. There is a change in the energy.
A deep change within the self.
.
The warrior has fought the courageous fight.
The battle of the dark night of the soul is won.
New energy now fills the Warrior.
A new path is now laid before them.
A gentler path filled with the inner-knowing
of one who has personal empowerment.
.
With their personal battle won, they are filled with joy.
A new awareness that they are one with the Spirit beams
as they go forth to show others the way.
They are not permitted to walk the path for others.
They can only love, guide and be a living example
of the Truth of their being.
.
Thank you for being our Spiritual Friend
