I have noticed during my walk through life,that the last half century has made me more aware of our origins.

Being of Mideastern as well as Native Americian heritage, I find that the seaech for the first 'PEOPLE' entertains more and more of my free time.

The works of geneologists, archeologist and noted historians as convinced me of the power and greater forces of 'where we come from' that we not only can find, but can tap into.

This might be a dream of an older man, or it might be a journey that can be joined, and a search worth the effort for all that seeem thier beginnings.

"I look to The East, for there is the soul of power" - has many more meanings then most will ever know.

i do think that in able for us to get to know ourselves more better we must first learn about our ancestors.

Odin had his rune to symbolize the ancestors also. I am also native according to the scolding a little girl received from her mother/my grandmother. DO NOT SAY ANYTHING, They might come and take our land also. One of my past grandmothers led me to find her death certificate on her birthday.
The ancestors faced their wars, and rejoicing as we that we exist today to take our place.
