Description
The Ocean Cave, the Earth, my friend, changed my life. The gray that lines my long tangled hair and groomed the wrinkles that edge my native face came by the love of her. The desire in twilight wants and what a lover needs, still fills me with star light awe. The childhood memories will never fade in reflection of the beauty I saw. The sacred face of earth becomes an inner-sight that allows my heart to swing on a tire across Old Mill pond where Mr. Whiskers the giant catfish lived. Yes, even the ancient thoughts of a big yellow cat named Stormy sat on the moss stained pier and sometimes called across at me. Masterful Dragonflies dancing over the ripples of the minnows den adjoin the spirit of my best friend. I think of the sacred place where my fishing pole rested in a forked twig and the overhanging oak tree which blessed me with artful shade and comfort. My friend that changed my life continues to evolve my existence with every storm, every river, in every blazing day trail through the climb unto tall summits unveiled. All living things I witnessed along the many pathways of this life remain inside the open blue windows of creations endless beauty. I live in awe of her. I taste the flint, the thorns that drew blood and the clay of our red walled canyons which spark the lightening of hope within every profound memory of my friend mother earth. Listening to the native flute, I beat upon my sacred painted drum. In timeless wanderings I speak in gentled tongue walk through sacred smoke. Awakened I live in the heart of ceremonies seeing clearly within the shy awakenings of life in a kiva. I visit the reflections of the childhood bike trail and the wild horses that I could sometimes see in the haze of a valley mist. In zen like stillness...I am captured in the pouring rain. What of the snow which has fallen upon my shoulder or the sweet green grass resting in refuge by the artful stance of an ancient boulder? I run the beaches through the dreaming innocence of a life wild and free. In sage by a warriors heart, I remain weaved by a desert wind within my friend the mother earth. I will eternally listen for the soft songs of a heartbeat. Lift my eyes into creation in deep prayerful desire with sacred intent to feel the kiss of a free wind and the warmth of a wilderness campfire. Nature will always be a friend to me. It's the sacred place I will always be...Forever free... Native American artist Barry K. Byers also known as Kicking Bear captures this creative moment through the heart of a true pioneer; the determined adventurer fearless to explore the dark passage as well as enlightments that awaken the senses.
