-*Walking Michigan's Lake Superior wilderness this past week my spirit traveled among stolen trails.  Reminded of the Crazy Horse Memorial South Dakota,  and the many American Indians I've spoken to through the years prompted this tribute.  My heavy heart became soothed as I realized giving homage to these lands would be more uplifting than a tearful journey.  So, I continue to honor my God, mother nature, and do my best to encourage respect for all the living and dead that this world has sustained.  Whatever nation you travel - remember the footsteps that once walked on the soil, or cement, beneath your path. *js, journal August 18, 2013
