O`si`yo Tsv-gi-ne-li ! ~ "Hello friends"

Hi! I`m Katherine, or Whiteduv1, and this is my 'special' little corner of this website. I thought I`d tell you a little about myself so you can better appreciate what I have planned for my own little page. First let me tell you that I am a Christian child of God (my beloved mother is to thank for that), and I do, eternally. Next I am Bob`s wife of near 38 (interesting) years, and I`m a mommie many times over. Five were born to me and just as many "chose" me; I love them all, incredibly! As I am decended from the Cherokee Native American Peoples, this page will reflect my "awe" and interest in my heritage of which I am proud. I hope you enjoy it as much as I will creating it.

If you click on the link above and discover the AOL search engine, it`s (obviously) unavoidable. Just type "texas cherokees" (no quotes) in the search window :) The url is correct on the page but AOL must "want" people to see their Search feature. Go figure :-) The proper url is:

~WOUNDED SPIRITS~ Oh, you of wounded spirits... I offer you a place of rest... Walk among my mountains... and climb to Eagle's nest.. Come swim amid my oceans... or feel my deserts's fire... sit beside running waters to reclaim your heart's desire. Seek my silent forests...or walk my open plains...travel the deepest jungles...till you hear my love's refrain. I am always waiting to... allow each child to heal...to cradle the wounded spirits...and teach them how to feel. I am the Earth Mother,who loves without regret...Tending all my...children Who through tears...have paid all debts.

.........It`s My Right To Be Red.............

The man signed a paper and said you are free, The black man shouted no more slavery, It is now his right to claim he is black, He is free and will never have to look back...

The Europeans came and here they laid stakes, They don't have to worry about where they stay, They took over our land and we welcomed them, They are the rainbow from which we all begin...

And now the Spanish came with their raven hair, And brought to us all, their customs to share, The food they eat and how they speak, Their religion and heritage, their strong and their meek...

The Dutch and the Germans, the English and French, In this country of wealth they would all be rich, They were all so happy and never had to explain, Who they came from, fore to see them explained...

Now the red man has been here since time began, But no one noticed this isn't a tan, Our skin is red and we are proud to say, That the Creator made us this way...

None of the others have to prove who they are, People don't ask them if they came from the stars, They take it for granted that they just belong, Indians are people too, we don't come from Mars...

But we must prove it time and again, That it is our right to be red skinned, We were here first and then all the rest, So why must we always be put to the test...

To prove who we are and where we came from, Our ways are as important as any of theirs, It is our land that they enjoy and destroy, We are left with only wrath upon ours...

So when you look at me and wonder who I am, Take a good long look at one of the FIRST AMERICANS!!!!

Finished but not..... THE END

The Environment Prayer

Lord, I Thank Thee...... For the healing beauty of flowers - welcome balm for the battered spirit.

For the exciting wonder of new life as manifested in the smallest of creatures. For the majesty of the trees that protect our soil, husband our waters, and provide us shelter.
For the mysterious process of plant growth, and endless bounty of fields that nourish my body.

Lord, Give Me Knowledge......
Help me to understand that life on earth is part of an awe - inspiring pattern, with man as chief steward. Teach me to appreciate the delicate relationships of all things on earth.

The majesty of an elk.... The springtime promise of a pussy willow...... The crystal purity of a dew drop.

Lord, Teach Me......
My Proper place. Guide me in doing my part to solve the problems that beset us. Let me be as dedicated to this task as a bee gathering pollen.

Lord, Give Me Perspective.....
Show me how to draw inspiration from the daily miracles I can witness on any walk in the outdoors. Help me remember that a song , and a smile are more in tune with life than a wail or a frown.

Make me realize that just as in nature there is tranquility, and power - so that capacity can also reside in me.
Lord, Make Me Humble....

Please give me humility to see how crude the most spectacular man - made thing is compared with .... a baby rabbit, the wonderous perfection of a snow flake... or the grandeur of a gaint redwood tree.

Give me wisdom to know if the environment fails wildlife then I , too, am doomed.
Lord, Open My Eyes..... Help me to understand, we are indeed all God's creatures.This is my prayer - I hope for all.
~Amen~
(anon)

The above prayer I borrowed from a good friend, Linda. Thank you Linda. (-: You will find awe and inspiration in her wonderful website:Environment, Wildlife, Pets And Children. Please check it out; you`ll love it. You can mail Linda at Linda

~ Love One Another ~

We are all alike. All God`s children. No matter our "roots," we are all creations of the Father, who has commanded:
" Love one another."
I love you my brother, my sister.
