Not being the family web designer I have no real idea of what it takes to build a page like this one. This guy is a pro I guess but still even for a pro I love the content and the ideals behind it. It is a must see. The following is a poem from his page. But you have to go see it for yourself. So much more, from Dragons to music, it's all there.
Were Did You Go, To Get So Lost?
FROM MY BEGINNING,
I HAVE SEARCHED,
SEEKING THE OCEAN OF WISDOM.
WHEN I FOUND IT,
I JUMPED IN;
SANK TO THE BOTTOM,
AND THERE I SAT.
THERE I DROWNED, AT ITS BOTTOM;
I DROWNED AND FOUND ENLIGHTENMENT.
THOSE NOT AFRAID TO JOIN ME, I INVITE TO FOLLOW;
TO DIVE IN,
AND GAIN AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME...
MY JOYS AND PLEASURES ARE TO BE SHARED;
NOT GIVEN AWAY,
AND CERTAINLY NOT TAKEN.
LIKE OPENING ONES EYES AND BEHOLDING BEAUTY;
LOOK UPON ONES' SOUL AND SEE TRUE LOVE.
TO EXPERIENCE LIVE,
WITH ONES SENSES;
IS TO ACCEPT ALL OF ITS' PLEASURES WITHOUT REGRET.
IF YOU DO SO TRUTHFULLY,
ALLOW IT TO GIVE YOU LOVE.
TO EXPERIENCE LIFE WITHOUT IT,
IS JUST EXSISTING.
YOU CANNOT DRINK FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE,
WHEN YOU BRING A FULL CUP TO THE FOUNTAIN.
EMPTY THE CUP,
SO THAT IT MAY BE FILLED.
NOW IT IS PREPARED,
TO ACCEPT PURE LOVE.
MY HEART, LIKE MY MIND,
MUST BE OPEN.
TO ACCEPT THAT WHICH YOU COME TO SHARE.
GIVING OF MYSELF IS NO PROBLEM,
WHEN IT IS OUR SOULS WE COME TO BARE.
TO TAKE MY HAND AND WALK WITH ME,
IS WHAT I ASK OF YOU.
TO SIT AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ME.
IS WHAT I ASK YOU TO DO.
TO OPEN MY HEART AND GIVE OF IT LOVINGLY,
IS WHAT I AM PREPARED TO DO.
WOULD YOU WANT LESS OF ME?
WHY WOULD I SEEK LESS FROM YOU?
THESE ARE THE SONGS OF MY SOUL,
SEARCHING FOR ITS' MATE.
THESE SONGS CAN BE HEARD WITH THE EARS OF A DEAFMAN;
THESE WORDS CAN BE SEEN WITH THE EYES OF A BLINDMAN;
BUT CAN NEITHER BE HEARD
NOR SEEN BY HIM THAT WILL NOT LISTEN
AND HE THAT WILL NOT SEE.
IF I CRYOUT AND YOU DO NOT HEAR ME,
DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE NOT CRIED.
I WAIT FOR YOU,
WITH ARMS STRETCHED OUT;
WITH A HEART THAT IS TRUE.
WITH A MIND READY TO EMBRACE YOUR THOUGHTS;
A MOUTH READY TO KISS YOUR SWEET FACE.
WITH A BODY READY TO SURRENDER UP TO YOUR TOUCH;
AND A SOUL HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE.
A SPIRIT EAGERLY AWAITING TO REJOICE,
IN YOUR RETURN TO ME MY LOVE,WE WAIT!
WHERE DID YOU GO TO GET SO LOST?
WE WAIT, MY LOVE, WE WAIT!!
PEACE PEACE PEACE

ONE HUMAN BEING'S OPINION
We are Human Beings,
that share the same planet
and inhale the same air,
bleed the same blood (no matter the rh factor or blood type),
we have different belief systems,
we have different attitudes and concerns.
We have different likes and dislikes.
Some are more patient than others,
some have more energy than others.
Some direct those energies to positive ventures,
some to negative,
some just simply expend it for the pleasure it provides.
But when you finish with all the magnificant differences, you still have one Human Being.
One Human Being cannot speak for another Human Being,
To do so is to userp the Human Being of his free speech.
To do so is to assume you know what that Human Being thinks,
To do so is to assume you know how that Human Being feels,
To do so is to assume you know what is best for that Human Being.
I am a Human Being,
fully capable of speaking for myself.
Fully capable of determining what is best for me.
I am a Human Being,
no one speaks in my name,
or signs my name for me.
I am a Human Being,
no one makes decisions for me.
No one needs to think for me,
nor does anyone need to tell anyone what I think.
I am one Human Being.
I am one Human Being,
I do not need to hide behind some organization to be a Human Being.
I do not need an organization to make my words important.
Nor do I need a Tribe/Clan/Nation to be a Human Being.
No Nation speaks for me, no tribal law is binding on me, no organization represents this Human Being.
Neither do I require Elders to teach me to be a Human Being.
No Human Being has a right to question my being, nor my name.
I am a Human Being!
created by the Great Spirit as a Human Being.
I do not need Holy Men to tell me I am a Human Being.
I am a Human Being!
I do not need an organization to tell me I am a Human Being.
I am a Human Being!
I do not need someone to give me a name to be a Human Being.
But this is just one Human Being's Opinion.
