INTRO (GUITAR SOLO)

VERSE 1
‘Heard your church bells ringin’ on the internet
Uncles in the hills with his eyes all wet
Newsman says you’re still fighting yet
Stay Strong

Families over here / Y’all are over there
Everybody knows / the earth’s not square
You are my brothers and my sisters too
Stay Strong

CHORUS 1
We are watching you
We are watching you
We are watching you
Stay Strong

VERSE 2
The ol’ knee pain is back again
When I was in the service it was fire ‘n rain
I got you somewhere in Ukraine
Stay Strong

CHORUS
We are watching you
We are watching you
We are watching you
Stay Strong

GUITAR SOLO 1

VERSE 3
Lions, Tigers, and that—Bear--oh my
If I was Icarus, I could fly
Feathers in my pockets, I’d could be your rocket
Stay Strong

Babushka walked in / prayer beads on
Fell to my knees near the end of this song
Ol’ JC said “Let them be”
Strong

GUITAR SOLO 2

VERSE 4
‘Heard your church bells ringing on the internet
Uncles in the hills with his eyes all wet
Newsman says you’re still fighting yet
Stay Strong

We are watching you
We are watching you
We’re all watching you

Stay Strong
CHORUS
Papa is watching you
The children are watching you
Babushka is watching you
Stay Strong

VERSE 5
Lions, Tigers, and that—Bear--oh my
If I was Icarus, I could fly
Feathers in my pockets, I’d could be your rocket
Stay Strong

CHORUS
We are watching you
We are watching you
We’re all watching you
Stay Strong

OUTTRO

EVENT: First Prayer Lodge of 2015

By walt | January 6, 2015

We had a great turn out yesterday about 20 folks here at “Reconciliation Ranch” in Wimberley, TX.
Wonderful to see everyone, can’t wait until the next full moon.

I went down to the lodge site this morning to pick up the prayer flags and they felt so energized.

Here is a photo of the Lode we had Down in New Zealand. It is a Fibonacci Spiral in both Masculine
and Feminine directions. I think it is so cool and the energy inside is expansive. What do you think?

Stories: Who Am I?

By walt | December 8, 2011

Doctors said, “You will never walk again.”
My response: “You don’t know who I work for.”

Are you on your Journey to finding out who you really are? Grandfather would say, “If not, you’re lost.”

The most important question you will ever ask yourself is: “Who am I?”

A personal story about Joseph Campbell .

I had stopped drinking for about a month, and was driving to a sobriety meeting.

It was 11:30. I was on my lunch hour in Houston when I turned on the truck radio and heard Joe talking, He mentioned “Follow Your Bliss” several times in his explanation of the Hero’s Journey. I call him “Joe” because I felt he was talking directly to me, so much that I spun the truck around and headed to the radio station in Montrose to meet him. I was driving fast and listening to this beautiful dialogue about the quest for each of us in our lives. I was crazy driving as time was running out and I thought I would not get there in time to meet him.

Deeply relating his words to my own experience of the upheaval I personally was going through at the time, I arrived at the radio station just as his interview ended. I would wait in the parking lot then, introduce myself to him when he came out the door. I kept the radio on and heard these tragic words: “We have been listening to a tape of Joseph Campbell recorded earlier in the year “.

“Nooooooooooooooooo!” I screamed.

He went on to say “Joseph Campbell died last year; for copies of his work…blah blah blah“ I was in tears and I didn’t know where they came from. I don’t know this man. Why am I crying…no…now sobbing?

Looking back now I believe I was grieving my grandfather and wanting to get some more of his–and my father’s–wisdom. Don’t get me wrong–they both gave me tons. In fact, a lot of their truth about the Hero’s Journey was seeing them in action, because they lived it. But to sit and talk with them man to man and hear their words about archetypes like Joe was talking about and now I find out he is dead and I missed it. I turned in my tenure at work that day.

Well I began eating every-thing Joe ever wrote or spoke after that day, and more importantly, applied his teachings as I continued my own quest and leading others to theirs.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL

I am so full of Joy seeing this trailer for the new movie “Finding Joe”
