Looking Into The Future

at 10/12/09 7:41PM *

Those of you who know me well, know that I'm a big fan of American Indians. Therefore my next couple of entries will be sayings by them.

I'll include their name meaning(what they would be called) and their name in their native language and the name of their tribe.

I hope you enjoy them!!

"You look at me, and you see only an ugly old man,
but within I am filled with beauty. I sit as on a
mountaintop and I look into the future. I see my
people and your people living together. In time to
come my people will have forgotten their early way of
life unless they learn it from white men's books. So
you must write down all that I will tell you; and you
must have it made into a book that
coming generations may know this truth."

Old Man Buffalo Grass- Sandoval, Hastin Tlotsi hee
Navajo Dine'

What he said has come to pass, sadly enough. The Indian culture for the most part has been lost.

Edit- I do not own this quote!!! You can read all the sayings in the book "In A Sacred Manner I Live"-edited by Neil Philip.

Interesting, Missy! The only I really remember reading along the lines of American Indians was "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee;" a very, very, very depressing book :(

Greetings from the other Hamilton twin. It was nice to meet you at camp. =)

Wolves, falcons, hawks and eagles are among my favorite animals. Along with probably a dozen others.... =P

Thanks, Missy. Yeah, that's very frustrating when you can't figure anything out. Yeah, it's John Williams the composer (have you heard John Williams the guitarist?) and I do like the other two composers you mentioned.

So...if you ever GET a pet, will you change your pleo name?! O_o

by cyber_space_cadet at 12/03/09 2:53PM
Head is doing better. I've actually only heard one song by John Williams the guitarist so can't actually recommend much by him, but the song I did hear was good : ) Could look it up, but feeling lazy right now.

by liseybug at 12/06/09 2:00AM
Oh, thanks:) The name suits me, lol!

This song has become rather popular, and I believe that we need to have these thought's in mind. No matter how healthy we are, we aren't guaranteed a tomorrow.

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

I really like this song, just downloaded it off Amazon. A friend used it as her theme song for a speech about living each day to the fullest, and it turned out really well.

Heard that song for the first time on the way down tonight. I remembered it from the lyrics you mentioned the other day. I liked it! Love you :)

by ryguy at 07/25/09 10:44PM
Awesome song! I think I've heard parts of it on the radio before, but hadn't listed to it all the way yet. :)

by memento_mori at 07/26/09 11:23PM
I wasn't able to listen to the music, but the lyrics are really nice! Although, if I knew for certain that today was my last day I wouldn't spend it finding the "one I've been dreaming of" and "finally fall in love"; I'd spend it with the ones I already know and love. :)
It it kind of reminds me of the song "Do You Realize", by The Flaming Lips. They both deal with how fast time flies and what do with that time.

See ya in a few weeks, Lord willing!!

uuum every time she jumps in that video is she like trying to kill herself?

by tuffgirl at 08/30/09 2:10PM
I really like that song. =) That's an neat video. It looks kinda sad,though.

by narnianheart at 09/16/09 4:39PM
yeah. That would be fun.=D

by narnianheart at 09/27/09 10:50PM
Greetings! This is one of the Hamilton Twins (From Home School Camp). I can't very well say that I got to meet you, since I don't think conversed at all, but if you want to add me, feel free. I'll leave it up to you.

The video no longer functions, but reading the lyrics, it sounds like a good song. =)

by sirtarin at 10/04/09 5:16PM
Missy, what's the title of this song, and who sings it? I want to listen to it. :) Andrew probably knows, but he's at the singing with the K-parts right now. ;) Figured I'd just ask you, since when he comes home I *know* I'll forget to check with him. hehe.
