Last Man Down The Mountain ~*Marge Tindal*~  Last man down the mountain call the Spirit of the Cherokee Ancient tellings of Vision Quests meant to set us free ~~~> Bring the peaceful promises to lay across the land Last man down the mountain come and take my hand Spread the verdant valley with abundance once again Last man down the mountain bring the Cherokee refrain ~~~> All across this spacious land fill our hearts with noble pride Last man down the mountain join the Cherokee side-by-side For in Spirits Walking visions fulfilled are meant to be Last man down the mountain bring the song of the Cherokee ~~~> *Touching my heritage songs~ ~This exquisite art piece is from The Allen Eckman Collection~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

And as always, this had me in tears! It is just so moving and powerful when your heritage words come pouring forth. May the Spirits continue to shine on you and may they protect and shine on Little Miss Delaney too. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Just a note to say we are watching Robert Mirabel, "Painted Cave" tonight on our local PBS. What an incredible special of Pueblo, Navajo flute and dance. Spirit songs and dances, connecting past to present, and prayers of hopefulness for a peaceful future. |

The last man down the mountain is a haunting refrain....may there always be a few hold outs hidden keeping the Cherokee heritage alive.....and if the day does come..may the last man down the mountain be a woman.....a woman with your spirit Marge......Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |
