| About Myths and Legends by � goeswith3faces He sits in front of his trailer, smoking a cigarette and listening to the nature�s concert of silence. White Clouds are hunted by the wind and from somewhere reach a buzzard crying his ear. His spirit dives in into the world of dreams and visions, like the spirits of his forefathers did it hundreds of years ago. Slowly like the smoke of a campfire his spirit starts to go its own way by leaving him with a peacefully smile on his lips. He remembers the time he spend in Creator�s world and the time he spend in the other world. On the wind he chased clouds and on eagle wings he visited his forefathers at the council fire, who whisper to him words of wisdom. His animal relatives took care of him all his life and without leaving the fact that he had to stand hard times, he never got the feeling that Creator left him alone. Now he is an old man, but the glance of youth is twinkling in his eyes, whenever he tells about life in the old times, the myths and legends he remembers. It is his responsibility now to tell his grandchildren and nephews the legends that opened a long time ago a door in his heart to Creator�s world. That�s the circle and it is good like it is. He smiles by thinking about the time when he was a little boy and when he listened to the stories that he tells now. He looked to the man in front of him who seemed to be finished with his statement and who wants to buy his stories, myths and legends. The man came a long way from town to talk with him about this subject and he was now a bit confused, when he saw that the old man was not much impressed by his offer to earn a lot of bucks. The old man smiles at him and says he shouldn�t be angry. The old man looks into the sky. �Since people can think, Creator never took something from his people without giving something. Creator made and makes everything in a circle. When somebody looses his eyesight, he gave him a second face with that the person could see things that others aren�t able to see. When somebody looses his youth, Creator gave him the ability to remember and to tell youngsters about the experience he made in life. Our connection to Creator is expressed in our legends, our myths and our lives; you can�t export them into a book or a video. Since I can think, searching people came to places where the stories are told. It never had been that the stories came to places where searching people are. Coming to the storytellers shows how serious the need of myths and legends is. Our myths and legends are a gift that Creator gives his people, like the lakes, the mountains, the rivers and the thousand things around us. It�s our history, identity, religion and our future. Now you want to talk with me about the price for the rights of myths and legends. I remember a time in the past when we were talking about the price for something we did not own and that was given to all by Creator, the same like our myths and legends and believe me son, it made Creator very sad to see his people dealing with his gifts � In Great Respect to all lives on Mother Earth. ~ Goes-with-three-faces ~ |
