This is, in fact, an altogether odd situation. When I said that I thought that I would like to visit I had neither the time nor resources to do so, but I set my mind on it anyway and determined that I would make such a journey....but not knowing where the money would come from. As I focused on this goal the resources suddenly appeared as if from no where. I was approached by people who I did not know personally to take a very lucrative information technology job...better than any I have ever had. I was provided with much really expensive mobile tech gear that I am currently using in a cabin in east Kansas, and told that if I took the job that they would gladly let me take off for 2 or 3 weeks to make the trip. I focused my awareness on the goal and everything flowed from there as if by magic. One truly controls ones reality through the manipulation of how they apply their attention. The goal provided the motivation to focus my intent. BUT the consequences of my intent procured a career level job as well as the resources for this trip. Change yourself...reality will follow.

On the way to the forum...
I never thought of myself as any thing: but,
we got too many warriors and not enough chiefs
you can be the war chief too...
I don't care for war

I'll leave that job for others.

Who knows what you have set in motion? What change may occur when you step into those Redwood forests? Once I set foot in them myself I knew I didn't want to be far from them as long as I stayed in North America. I always feel like I am at the roots of the world when there. Especially with the primal Pacific ocean close enough to smell. What an awesome place for a shamanic voyage. The plant powers seem to be magnified there.

I am halfway to my destination. Today I crossed the wastelands, and now I stand at the foot of the sacred mountains. Tomorrow I will stay and invoke the Gods of those mountains. Then I shall continue to Iceland.

Well I am ready to do just that if it is within the scope of my action.

Yes, perhaps in iceland you have to be even aware while asleep 
Ah, here are my snow goggles and sometimes you will need a megaphone, because some inhabitants seem to be almost deaf When you reach the tribal zone, you will hear some strange drumming (perhaps that is why) 

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I climbed to the top of the "Sacred Mountains" today to invoke the Gods of the Mountain and recieved their blessing to pass over them. So, tomorrow I continue my journey. I do not think that I will need a bullhorn, the Gods of the Mountain will send thunder before me. I attached an image that I made from the top (well really at only 12000 feet) of the "Sacred Mountains".
"Yes, perhaps in iceland you have to be even aware while asleep"
Of course I am aware while asleep...why waste all that time?

I love mountain country. Good place to get lost. I like the high desert canyons and mountains especially now. Fortunately they are many here. I live on the ridge between. On one side the green forests leading to the Pacific Ocean. On the other the High deserts leading to sagebrush and rattlesnakes. I love it here. If only we could get rid of the Americans; this could be a great country.

...and I want to see some of it. After conquering these mountains...I mean after being conquered by these mountains...I am ready.

I think that these type of people prefer "Native Americans"...at least most so called "indians" do...as they are not from India. I have known many who considered "Indian" a racist term.

I can understand completely. The white man in North America is a nasty sort of human.

One of our beautiful mountain lakes:

I've been BBQing plenty of meat in preparation for your visit. I know how hungry you coyotes get. Maybe I went overboard?
