<b>Went back to the Colorado Trail July 25, 2008 to do trail maintenance (a group from my church has adopted a section of the trail), and to remember Rigel. This was the last mountain hike he did   more...in 2007, near Kinosha Pass.

Please continue to honor Rigel with tax deductible donations to W.O.L.F.(Wolves Offered Life and Friendship) Sanctuary, <a href="http://www.wolfsanctuary.net/">http://www.wolfsanctuary.net/</a>

At the sanctuary, the wolves and wolf hybrids are permitted to live their lives in small packs in large enclosures within the forest of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, with a high quality diet and plenty of shelter. They get top notch veterinary care (I know their veterinarian personally), and even chiropractic care for animals with orthopedic issues that can benefit from it. The conditions at WOLF are far better than any other rescue, sanctuary, or shelter I've seen. Once on the page, click the "Help a wolf" link to make a tax-deductible donation.</b>  less

Rhumbah loves music, particularly female vocals, and her favorite song is Suo Gan, a Welsh Lulaby. She has enjoyed many of the musicians on LiveVideo, and I felt that a video with her response to singing   more...would be an appropriate way of showing appreciation. This features me singing it to her, following her as best I can with my webcam. I start with the English translation, followed by the Welsh original. For those who know Welsh, I apologize for any mispronunciations. I do not know the Welsh language.

If I'm not sitting when singing or playing music, Rhumbah wanders around, purring and rubbing on things. If I'm sitting, she curls up in my lap, purring like mad.

The purring you hear is a recording of Rhumbah purring that I superimposed over the vocals.

I am not a trained vocalist.  less

Terrestrial photos from the Costa Rica trip I took in 2001.

If any of you ever are able to get to Costa Rica, here are some recommendations...

Take a butterfly and hummingbird tour... they're gorgeous!
  more...
Stay a couple of nights at the <a href="http://www.arenalobservatorylodge.com/EN/">Observatory Lodge.</a> All rooms have an entire side of glass, facing Costa Rica's most active volcano, Mount Arenal.

Take a canopy tour! There's nothing like sightseeing while repelling between treetops! The best one is at Rincon De La Vieja. It has 23 platforms and a suspension bridge! Don't worry... you are connected to a stout cable at all times for safety.

Go snorkeling!

They also have some astronomy cruises, for going out to sea at night for nothing better than to admire the stars.

On top of that, the water is safe to drink, and electricity is green... Costa Rica uses hydroelectric and geothermal sources for 100% of their electricity. You also don't have many of the other worries you may experience in other Central American countries. I remember being dragged off the street in Mexico by vendors trying to sell me things. None of that in Costa Rica. In fact, the only complaint I have is the condition of the roads... watch out for potholes!

I wrote this poem many years ago, when I spent much time with a American Indian friend and mentor of Choctaw, Cherokee and European heritage. I now dedicate it to his wife, who recently passed away from   more...cancer. You are in my thoughts, Mou and GhostWolf.

Indian Winter
I softly tread the ancient path
where age old legends are laid to rest
My footsteps echo like phantoms of night,
while a dove coos, content in her nest.

I enter a clearing where a village once stood,
Where tepees stand in a tattered cast.
Clouds hover low, a spector's veil,
and mists uncover memories from ages past.

I gaze into the eyes of an ageless face.
An abyss of every emotion.
In them I read the hopes of a tribe,
and a life filled with unyielding devotion.

He speaks in a voice that is almost a whisper,
hoarse from years of wear.
He speaks low in a soothing tone,
in a passion unknown and truly rare.

"Eagle feathers, Starlit night, weathered face, silver light."

"Young squaw come. Follow the path of the ancient one.
Fear me not. Stand. Now follow the deer and run!"
"Step lightly, make no sound. The night is awake, sounds surround.
The wind speaks, learn its voice. Winter ends...now rejoice!!!"

The mist lifts and the Indian fades, but I am not alone.

"Eagle feathers, Starlit night, weathered face, silver light."  less
