The power, presence, mystery and wisdom of the Shaman has maintained, protected and healed us in our journey through time.

The shaman symbolically is the embodiment of spiritual and mental forces given life in human form. They wield the forces of perception, belief, imagination, hopes and dreams.
Rituals are their tool for education.
Masks their tool for invocation.
Healing, advice and guidance their reason for being.

Rise Up! Rise Up! Arise!

In the light of the moment, rise beyond your self-doubt
Rise beyond your achievements
Rise beyond your potential.

Rise to meet your hope
Rise to meet your dream
Rise to meet your destiny
Rise to meet your power
Rise to meet your presence
Rise to meet your uniqueness
Rise to meet your soul.

'face' your star.

"All things prepare you for something else."
~ Monday, December 29, 2008 . 5:29 am

Gabbing on:

"Every thought leads you to something else.
Every action leads you to something else.
Every pain leads you to something else.
Every joy leads you to something else.
Every dream leads you to something else.
Every friend leads you to something else.
Every enemy leads you to something else.
Every kind word leads you to something else.
Every injustice leads you to something else.
Every failure leads you to something else.
Every hope leads you to something else.

Essentially everything about us is connected to something else and so are we connected to all things and one with everything, whether we are aware of it or not.

Celebrate your value and meaning to all things.

There is so much more to each of us beyond
the 'face' we wear.
Revealed her are some of the elements beyond
the face of personality and ego:

mystery, anger, pain, presence, power, strength,
fear, dignity?

What do you see???
What do we generally hide behind our daily masks???
