Blessed to attend 2 druming sessions in oregon, one in Eugene and the other in Salem, with 3 magnificent community drums ad 28 enthusiastic people drumming and singing, what a treat!
My friend has been giving me advice on changing my diet and I am on a cleanse, it seems that visiting so any high energy areas and the changes that we are all undergoing, is changing the cellular matrix of the body so quickly, that i don't know what the body wants for fuel anymore - I do know it will no longer tolerate the genetically altered, fast food and chemically enhanced items they disguise as beig for Hu-man consumption. As an opportunivore, it was much easier to eat what ever presented itself on the journey, although a uch simpler diet, I will have to be much more aware while traveling.

There is a pet Zoo aways down the road, I have been enjoying waking to each day, it has an assortment of live snakes, turtles, birds, rodens etc, this is the closest I have in town to connecting with the lifeforce of nature. An amazing thing happened - there were 2 red tailed Boas in a glass cage, which I sat in front of for a while, the largest rose its head up in the air on an angle and stayed like that, while the other then also raised its head up and their head and necks formed a cross in front of me - they stayed his way for a very ong time. In meditating on this afterwood, I realised they were telling me this is what I am to do with my snake head medicine items - thanks for that guys!

We headed out last Monday from Eugene to drive in an amazing little frieghtliner Rv with a mercedes Diesel - across oregon, over the mountains with the river flowing beside us most of the way, through the forests and even in June there was stil lots of snow around.
We followed he scenic routes and the old Oregon trail for aways, I marvelled at he thought of setlers, wagons and indians here a little over a hundred years before - I was saddened by the amount of logging and cleared spaces.

Then we drove across the corner of idaho - through canyons and across rolling plains, I could imagine the thundering hoofbeats of thousands of buffalo, where now there were homesteads and industry. Stopping at the Painted Hills for lunch and to enjoy the many colours of natures pallet. The volcanic landscape of ancient lava beds and volcanic plugs was incredible, as was the ancientness of the land. Driving into Utah at first was long rolling plains, but south of Utah was amazing, we stopped in Marilyn at the Mystic hot springs for a dip to refresh and then were amazed and awed by thecolours of the canyons and cliffs, stopping for the night at Cliff Dwellers, a rest area of a lodge and service station, nestled at the base of coloured cliffs, a few hours north of the Grand Canyon. Next day after passing through many wonderful canyons we arrived in Sedona to be met by Lakota Wolf and her family, I have a wonderful week here as part of her family, not far from Bell Rock and the Grand cathedral. Blessed Be as we prepare for the energies of next weeks full moon and Solstice - the energies coming in are awesome, so be prepared and enjoy the ride. Love Morning Star
