The Ghost Dance Way

I wrote the following in April 2. 2007 it was a Full Moon in Spring, a Holy Day.

I am sharing now. It came with a Song, which I keep. And I claim Artistic License...so with Respect. Peace.

The Ghost Dance Way

The Resurrection, 
The Rejuvenation,
The Renewal,
Of The Nations, 
Of the Mighty Turtle Island Nation,
Was Promised and will be,
As stated by The Great Spirit's Royal Decree,
Promised and Proclaimed, 
By His Messenger, Wovoka.

What does it mean to Dance?

Dancing is a Way of expressing Joy. 
Dancing is the Movement of the Stars in the Heavens on their journey across the Sky.
Dancing is the Raindrops skipping on the Earth to replenish and purify.
Dancing is the Prayers we Humbly offer to the Earth/Great Spirit, hoping that He will hear and answer.
Dancing is a Spirit Song, a Fast, a Prayer, A Promise kept.
Dancing is a Spirit Dance, an Earthdance, a Raindance, a Sundance, a Healing Dance, a Dreamdance, a Creation Dance of Love.
Dancing is the Life on Earth taking place daily between the Pole Stars.
Dancing is a Way of Walking, a Way of Walking in Beauty, a Way of Living Love.
Dancing is a Way of Knowing, a Way of Light coming through Us from Above,
A Way that emanates from the Essence of our full Hearts, Reaching out to meet and greet others of our Kind or Not.
Dancing is a Song that Perfumes the Spaces between our Breaths,
Which forms the Harmonious Sounds and Movements to Please the Great Spirits' ears.
Dancing is a Sharing, a Bond that grows between People that Respect One and Others.
Dancing is a Warriors Dance, justified in Righteousness and Resurrection, won in Mercy.
Dancing is a PeaceMakers Dance, Solid, Truthful, Present, a Gift of Love.
Dancing is a Cry for Justice, for injuries Lost and Forgotten, Remembered and Forgiven.
Dancing is a Longing, for the Best if Days, when All Life is Vigorous, Growing and Renewed.

Dancing is a Sacred Way, the Present day way, of doing our part to help the Ones past to Return.
Dancing is a Restoring Way, doing Everything possible, to help the Animal Spirits Return.
Dancing the Bison Return, Dancing the Bison Remains!
Dancing is laying your Tobacco Prayers, smoking your Pipe, purifying in a Sacred Way.
Dancing is a Holy Way, the Way of letting the Great Spirit do what needs to be done, while we back off, egos and ids away, His Will today!
Dancing is a Way of Putting on a new skin, Becoming a New Kind, a new Being, a Purified One, the One the Creator intended One to be.
Dancing is a Way of Transforming into the Spirit Being the Great Spirit thought You to be, when He called you by Name.
Dancing is His Divine Spirit shining through You and around You, until only the old Ghost of You, is left behind.
Dancing is a Balanced Way, a Way of Wholeness, a Way of Thinking, of All others.
Dancing is the Way of the Future, Seven Generations away, throughout the Universe.
Dancing is the Way of All Our Relations, a Way of Seeing Oneness!
Dancing is the Ghost Dance Way, the Sacred Circle Way, where we do Little but Pray, Pray, Pray!
