the rain that fell last night
made me
fall in love with you.

FROGS AT THE DOOR! There was a loud knock, at the door,
which awakened me,... from my dream
So down stairs i bounced
and opened the door with a loud creak and i looked forward and said, who is it?
"Ah"!...to which i heard in a small crackly voice...It's me...Henery!
Looking forward i didn't see any one, but then i looked down at my feet
and saw an old frog...surrounded by little animals...hovering by the bottom of the door
In great alarm i said,"what's wrong Henry"?and old Henry looked up and said Peacetree!!!
" their clear cutting! our home"!!!!!!! and we have,no place to stay!!!?! is there any chance,
good friend, that we can stay the night...untill, we find proper shelter???!
I say of course, no problem, my dear froggie friend.
as long as you clean up after your self
and don't play your instruments too loud. Please
don"t forget ! ...
to put all the MAJIC! back into the cupboard
once ... every one! ... is safe, warm... and fast asleep ...

Peacetree was so Happy!
to wake up to such a wonderful sound.
The old frog ( Henry ) ... and
his little friends had gotten up
early
to practice
their new old song, the one they suddenly realized
they all knew quite well !
this song had sort of
Magically
appeared, in every one's HEART, all at the same time !
It was a good thing too for there was a
great Sadness
on this ... sacred... earth.

So many were not very happy .
because most
of the Beautiful creatures
were afraid ... to show their
true feelings.

every one ! ( almost ... )
looked like they were
all going to Pop !
from this inside pressure.
So, the beautiful sounds, coming
from Peacetree's home
were indeed, a welcome sound.

Henry...the dear old frog, was
almost beside himself.
He felt that... maybe this music
could HELP ?! cheer up the world.
this music, with such Heart.

Peacetree bounded. . . . . . .
almost like a sort of
flying type of bound down the stairs.
Peacetree ... was almost always attempting to Jump ! and grab the stars.
he was always thinking...
that if he kept Jumping
and ... Never gave up!...anything was possible!!!
even catching a star !
For he had Promised,
his Beautiful little
humming bird Princess
that he wood get her
the most beautiful Star
in all of the universe.
his little princess ( hummingbird )
had been sooo sad, lately...
She was very
...sensitive

and felt all of the pain in her broken heart.
all the pain...of the world.
She had been crying
all the time!
For at least, the last couple of thousand years any way,
Her tears...fell so softly
that hardly anybody heard.
...they made, a little tiny river...
that flowed, gently towards
Peacetree, who was not about
to give up he said "No way!"...not he.
he was going to get her that star!
"no matter what"!!!

So...the old frog and the
little animals
played gently
As Peacetree finally
got that star.
and, the Light was
sooo bright and beautiful
that it dried the little Princess Humming Bird's tears
that for just, a short moment...
SHE STARTED TO SING! Does anybody have?! the specifications... for a "lock box," for a...humming bird???!!!


Wood
love to
build a kayak
out of birch bark
paddle gently
up the inside passage
while wolves
run along the shore
land on a sacred beach
on the magical shores
of the Haida Gwaii
build a tree home
out of
huge white wooden bones
from the sacred clear gutted earth
get naked
lick our wounds
roll around
wonder why
make wonderful clothes
out of leaves
play classical guitar
into the universe
with only magic as our guide





some quotes from Anais Nin...that inspire me...(editing some ! ... allot !)

Creation that cannot express itself, becomes madness

We travel some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to ones courage

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive,
and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born

For you and for me, the highest moment, the keenest joy,is not when our minds dominate, but when we lose our minds

We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always in the end, a disappointment because it does not fit them

We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are

When you make a world tolerable for yourself,
you make a world tolerable for others

I with deeper instinct choose a woman who compels my strength, who is not afraid to give me work to change the world. who does not doubt my courage or toughness who loves me . that i am naive or innocent or not . who has the courage to see that i am more than a man.

welcome home sister!

In 2001
friends of trees
+ my self
made a film
with the
N.F.B.
about "STOPPING!"
the clear cutting
on Salt Spring Island B.C.
Some of my footage, was used
+ i get arrested, at the end.
If you go, to youtube
and type in "The Battle For Salt Spring"
on their search engine, you will
be able to watch, some great spirit
doing all they can, for such a lovely
Earth.

allways peace
allways love
