Dreamed or inspired by a real sage?

A wise banquet of poetic-philosophic meals are served through the lines of "Soliloquy with a Shaman". Anyone willing to nourish soul and feed the mind may enjoy the abundance of its wisdom.

Keep delivering Your jewels, Poet.

echoing in the canyons of my mind"

It is a good place to listen, Peter; and certainly you have shared what you perceived most effectively. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

A faithful friend is the medicine of life. To talk to ones self, is to truly speak with the Soul Self. The one self devoid of duailty in all thought, word and action. The self-image of the Creator; in whose image we are formed - creators.

Life is exactly what we make of it. It always has been. It always will be.

"Those things that nature denied to human sight,
she revealed to the eyes of the soul."
-Ovid (43 B.C.-17 A.D.)

Tecumseh was one of the greatest spirits ever to walk the face of this planet. He was one with the universal spirit, continuously in high frequency, synchronized with the energy of the cosmos. To small spirits posessed by greed, ignorance and fear he was simply too elevated, too balanced and powerful to communicate with. They've one solution to end such 'problems' that is continuously applied throughout the blood soaken history of man: kill it. Along with him dreams were eradicated that could have made life meaningful and beautiful. This society and the ones preceding it are huge conspiracies of idiots. We are not an intelligent species, we contaminate the universe and force higher powers to remove us from it.

A splendid feast of worth, my friend! Truly a soul nourishing offering.

A masterwork which is rife with wisdom...Lin

Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life.

Marvelous poetic words and thoughts from Tecumseh, from that Shaman, and from you, Peter.

Well done Peter. You paint in words the spirit of the past and project it into the future for all mankind to learn from.

I must say here, there are six holes in a traditional Native American flute; one hole for each of the Four Directions, one hole for earthward and one hole for skyward. Today, I am adding a seventh hole for you Peter. It is an honor to be in your company and the seventh hole in this Den flute is for you and your daily inspiration. Such a pretty song of words here, Peter. Blessed Be.

Most powerful offering Peter!!

Thank you for this most outstanding piece!!

Love Tinka

Sounds like my kind of Shaman for sure:-) Much startling wisdom fills the lines of SOLILOQUY WITH A SHAMAN and admirable courage flows through the pen that delivered them. Thank you.

Peter, the power of your words and the direction your share is a delicacy of inspired thought ...

I, too, am in the league of your admirers, and especially with this exercise on man's fragile and destructive nature. Of course man does do, say, and build wonderous things, but it is the inner man we are concerned with here. Love is a word to be said, like hunger. Except when we say we are hungry, most of the time we are, not so when the love word is uttered. We are only in love with love, the real thing we usually do not have much patience for. There is so much more I could comment on, but I am a bit weary tonight, so I'll just say, ya did good, man.

Dear Peter
This is awesomely powerful, deserving of awe!
"..laden with the sharp edge of the sword of experience.."
You speak of many hard earned truths that the reader is blessed in the reading, although confronting as it needs to be!
"..what is your subjective and truth
in an ever changing environment..." Always honour the question..
Powerful, and I'm saving it to library! Thank you for this gift!
Love, Suzie :-D

a compelling argument for remaining true to yourself. You are a very wise Poet.

A very wise artist taught me how to paint. He said," Paint the space and the object will find it's piece of the canvas." I've concentrated on the space first and the small details of life present themselves without the negative. It balances my environment now. The Shaman was my father. Your poem is something he would cut out and tape to his wall in his gallery where he'd paint. It was a room full of wisdom. Now that I have his talent I continue to value his wisdom...and now..I look at you with a different pair of eyes.
Remember Peter, "Life is in the details." I relly don't need to tell you this. You know it aleady.
I appreciate you.
Susan
