About Me
Describe Yourself:
I am of the Chahta nation. I do not have a religion. I have a way of life. I follow the way of my ancestors and elders.
I love life - all it's bumps, forks in the road, hill and valleys.&#lt;br /&#gt;
I greatly enjoy people - all kinds. I especially like to talk with those that don't agree with me on something - and that includes just about everybody.
I've known pain so intense that I would have done anything to die right then. I've know joy so intense that I wanted it to never end.
I have been searching for someone who can help me to understand an experience that I had in a sweat lodge when I was taking a long "empowerment" break about a year ago. From what I can gather from the others people who were taking the "journey" with me, my experience was unique. I am not a Native American and so I don't have any parents or grandparent who I can talk to.
Are you someone who would listen to my experience and help me to understand it?
Father Wolf, thankyou for posting me back. The rock can be around 5-6 inches round, square, doesn't really matter,2-4 inches wide. The wall that I am building is 80 feet long and 20 inches high(if you look at the www.beaverhead.com/veterans ,click on progress and the 1st page, the top left, you'll see the memorial and big rock, picture the gravel and below is a side-walk, that's the retaining wall) I am doing it all in Montana moss-rock, but every 18 inches I am setting a stone from each state, they will have a bronze plaque telling the state of the rock and in the middle of the entire long wall will be a plaque reading"THANKS VETERANS FROM ALL OF THE UNITED-STATES". I will send you a picture. I did this memorial for mostly gasoline. I also have two benches and enclosed in moss rock are the words, MIA and another one POW'S. I am very proud of you. Maybe we can work together and get you an engraved brick, with the words you want on it. We have two POW'S from Dillon, Mt. Thanks for your time. Sincerly, Ron Lake 250 Pioneer Drive Dillon, Mt. 59725
