A moment I want on the top
Of my feed.
2016
Nothing else like it in the world…
One supercell like Leoti will
Change your life forever.
It never leaves your blood.
Most days it’s hard to find meaning
In the suffering.
To make sense of this world
We live in,
No matter how hard we try.
But when you finally get that rare,
Unexplainable sense of peace
And clarity as to why we are here
And why it’s worth it
To keep pressing on,
It can be life changing.
Not only to you,
But to others in whom you
Have the courage to share your vulnerability
And struggle with.
Remember that to share your story,
your writing, art, compassion, understanding, confusion,
Your uncomfortable truth of what it’s like to be fully human…
All of this is what keeps someone
else in your life going.
Everyone has a story worth telling.
There was war before I walked these lands
And there will be war
Long after my body is laid to
Rest in them.
Indians, Mexicans, Spanish, Whites
All fought to keep / claim / conquer
This place we call the American West.
Each one with a different history,
Intention and interest.
Unfortunately like everywhere else
On this planet,
He who has the most gold
Ultimately makes the rules.
Love it. Hate it. Curse it.
It doesn’t matter so long as we
Live in this material world.
The rules are the rules.
I sure as hell didn’t make ‘em.
The only power one possesses against it is to fight with all the love he has in his heart. To join forces with the rival tribe you’ve spent your life fighting, and come together for a greater purpose. To protect God’s land. To protect your sovereignty. To protect the last thing we have in this world that is just and true.

Still patiently waiting for my honey hole (western Kansas) to come alive. Anytime now.
