DEAR MR. MORNING SKY: I AM ANGRY AT WHAT THE MEN OF POWER HAVE DONE TO OUR WORLD, SO MUCH SO THAT I AM ANGRY AT ALL MEN IN GENERAL. YOU ARE AN EXCEPTION, CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY ADVICE ON HOW I CAN DEAL WITH MY ANGER TOWARDS MEN?

Thank you for your email and your kind description of me as an exception.

Many years ago I used to participate in competition pow-wows, 36 hours of dancing in a three day period takes it out of you both physically and emotionally. In any competition that I did not win, I would at times get angry. It was then that my grandfather’s words always rang in my head. ‘There is nothing wrong with anger, my son,’ he would say, ‘unless you direct it at someone else. Anger is a form of passion, and passion is nothing less than Fire. Do not focus this Fire on someone else, you are actually giving away one of your gifts. Turn the anger in at yourself, get angry for letting yourself fail in accomplishing your goal. Turn anger into passion, and if you lose, walk to the man who has defeated you and thank him. Thank him because he has pointed out the weakness in you that allowed him to win. And remember, what is most important, you did not lose, he won.’

If you give in to the anger at men (or anyone in general), you give them control of your life. Better to turn your anger into Fire and use that Fire to better yourself, or to better the lives of your loved ones and the world in general.

Anger is Fire, Fire is good, it gives you the strength to make changes.

What is critical is the direction you give to your Fire.

DEAR MR. MORNING SKY: WHY DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A NOBODY? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN LIKE THAT? YOU REALLY ARE SPECIAL!

Thank you for your email.

But I respectfully disagree.

I thank you for thinking I am ‘special’, I am sure you mean it in the most positive way, it is quite a compliment, but I prefer not to wear another person’s assessment as my mantle.

I am Robert Bear Claw Morning Sky. I am a Bear Warrior, I am a Dancer and I walk the Path of Fire. I am not a ‘man’, I am not ‘civilized’, I wear no man’s yoke and best of all, I am not willing to live by society’s labels. I am a Nobody and I like it.

Elders have told me that Nobody will ever understand the mysteries of the world, Nobody will unlock the secrets of the Ancient Ones, and Nobody – absolutely Nobody – accomplishes the impossible.

With the greatest of respect and appreciation for your kind words for me, I hope you can understand.

Robert
