Put on a backpack and grab your walking stick and hat and take off and be a traveler, don't get caught up in video games or the media. Sadly the world and planet have changed since my childhood. More people means more intrusion on nature with condos, concrete highways and pollution of all sorts including the noise. We really don't think about the freedoms and innocence and lack of clutter of yesteryear until someone like myself writes about it. Jack Kerouac wrote about it, Woodie Guthrie sang about it and our Native American elders talk about it. I'm glad I could brighten your day you certainly made mine better. Maybe somehow this madness will end. There is a part of me that wants to see it all come falling down like a house of cards, because people are a prisoner of the system. That being said, there is still plenty to see, so go see it!

Like you say, our world definitely is a whole lot more complicated and - literally, messed up. <br /><br />I really wish I could have lived the same childhood you did - filled with nature-centred adventures and freedom. No worries of pollution - poisoned water or fumes in the air, a much safer environment with little crime and intrusion... the peace and quiet with total absence of any cars or traffic... Man... I really wish I could have gone on those adventures.<br /><br />Sad to say, the only way I would probably be able to live like that these days is through video games (no joke!). Perhaps if I'm lucky I could maybe one day visit a relatively untouched area (where in the world isn't touched these days?) I love Native American culture, their ideas and beliefs - so thank you so much sir, for writing this amazing entry. Your memoirs of your bright past childhood lightened up my day, today.Ariane Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517345430607284082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786599751162552396.post-50028697664382194192010-04-14T22:55:56.009-07:002010-04-14T22:55:56.009-07:00Andrew send me an e-mail so I can contact you..thu...Andrew send me an e-mail so I can contact you..thunderhands@thenativeamericantaoist.com"Wakiya" (Thunder)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05627906449533420496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786599751162552396.post-56159491096990903782010-04-03T15:26:47.309-07:002010-04-03T15:26:47.309-07:00You are welcome anytime you visit AZ.

It swallows the sound of the city like magic. I am reminded by your links of my camping visit to the Chiricahua Mtns. Time travel seems possible when you see those sacred rocks, and the stars at night. The enlightened Ones have alchemy to "fix" things like pollution. We must do the inner work to bring those days to fruition. The Native sacred memory and respect is so valid, and so much needed now, for the young ones to make right choices. Do keep those memories alive! You inner vision will be felt by receptive Souls. This is the Great Spirits movie in space, and She knows what she is doing. <br /><br />Namaste <br /><br />AndrewBassplayernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786599751162552396.post-16561689863001182152010-04-03T12:25:04.731-07:002010-04-03T12:25:04.731-07:00Thanks for the comments.

San Diego was a pristine area once also, but is now a megalopolis! It's just really sad the way things have gotten. Everything is polluted.<br /><br />Chante Ishta<br />Thunder"Wakiya" (Thunder)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05627906449533420496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786599751162552396.post-74810548236683806772010-04-03T08:45:43.250-07:002010-04-03T08:45:43.250-07:00Awesome site THUNDER !
