About Me


Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
Shambo 'For Mary Alice'
When you are helpless I will be able
When your head is bowed I am your cradle
Though they take your body, I embrace your soul
By candle light your spirit, whole
Your burden, my strength
My tears, your release
Ascend to heaven, proud beloved beast
Always know that I stood brave and true
For those that live on, I will fight for you
And in your name let each be spoken
N'er this peace, this love be broken.
Maria Daines

What You Can Do about Web Sites that Promote Animal Cruelty
Your Power Comes From The Songs
Words by Ethel Wilson
" If you do not know any of the songs, ask an Elder to teach you. Get yourself a drum. When you sing a song and play the drum, you'll be surprised how your mind, body, and spirit will react. Everything becomes calm and joyful. Our bodies love the songs. The songs allow us to touch the hand of the Creator.
When we sing and touch the Great Spirit's hand, he gives us power. Songs are another way to pray. "
My Grandfather, teach me a song today.

For the first time on DVD the controversial classic film shockingly relevant to today Said Alan Brien of THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK) "The most impressive film maudit, possibly too hot to handle, is Victor Schonfeld's The Animals Film, a polemical onslaught, stuffed with footage never before shown, and a wealth of newly-shot material often taken undercover, which documents...mankind's degradation, exploitation, and often pointless torture, of the creatures who share our planet.He proves, beyond contradiction, that this behaviour is not just random or personal but part of our organised society, with drug companies, government departments, scientists, military authorities, factory farmers, university research laboratories, for their own selfish ends, for profit in money or prestige.I do not know when I have come out of a screening so moved by the power of the cinema as a medium to transform the entire sensibility of an audience.
