Rituals of Love

There are many rituals i practice throughout the day whether or not i notice them. The most important ritual i preform is my nightly calls with my boyfriend. For you to understand this rituals importance to me you must first understand my man's importance to me. His name is Ocean, and i can honestly say i have never loved anyone as much as this totally ridiculous, completely beef-headed yet amazing man. Ocean has certain qualities that i wont get into due to how i doubt you are intrigued to read about a mushy love story, but these qualities truly captured my soul. We have been together for a year and half now and since dating we haven't spent much time apart, til now. Montana and Alaska are, sadly enough, quite far away from each other. Long distance relationships are something that i never thought i would be participating in. And now, here i am calling my man every night before i go to bed. This is a ritual of love.

How Raven Gave Light to the Land

Gunalcheech!
In the beginning the land was covered in darkness. Raven, who has existed since the very beginning of time was tired of bumping into things in the dark. So he decided to go out into the land at search for the light so he could share it with all the people of the Land. While wandering throughout the world Raven stumbled upon a long hut. A chief and his daughter lived here. Through Raven's slyness and trickery he discovered that the Chief had all the light of the World locked up in a bent wooden box. The Chief was a very jealous man and wouldn't let anyone near his box of light. So Raven thought and thought and thought of how he was going to steal the light from the Chief.  When the Chief's daughter came down to the rivers edge to collect water from her basket, Raven saw his chance and transformed himself into a hemlock needle, sliding into her basket. As the daughter took a drink from her basket Raven slid down her throat into her warm belly. Here again Raven transformed into a tiny human baby. 9 months Raven rested until the day the daughter gave birth. Raven was a strange looking child with dark eyes and straight black shiny hair. Although his grandson came from such a mysterious way the Chief still loved him as much as any grandfather would, denying Raven nothing. One day Raven was playing with his grandfather, and Raven reached for the bent wood box with a playful look in his dark eyes. The Chief at first refused his grandson, not wanting to share his treasure. But Raven pleaded and used his trickery to get the Chief to hand him the box. As soon as the bent wood box was in his hands, Raven opened the box! Freeing the sun moon and stars!! As Raven did this he transformed back into his original form and flew away with the light out the chimney and into the sky! Raven released the light back into the sky and all the people of the land were amazed and thankful to Raven forever for what he did for them.

Be Original

Everyone has his or her own stories. Yet at the same time, everyone has the same story. We all start off in this life with a smack on the bottom and a small shudder of a breath. This start of your life is known as Separation. Next you go into Initiation, figuring out life, going through pain as well as joy. But is there anything new left to be done in the place?

"What has been will be again,

   what has been done will be done again;

   there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9

The great mythological book The Bible seems to believe that there is no longer anything new to be done down here. How boring would that be though? Never anything different, nothing surprising. I know that personally I would go crazy if this was totally true. Thankfully there is a small loophole to this seemingly life long curse; you must take what's already been done and make it your own. Use your own style. Because you know what is new in this world? You are. We are. There has never been a person alive on this earth that is exactly like you! This is what you have to work with. Now go and be original!!
