Mission San Xavier de bac
The Spanish Catholic Mission site was founded in 1692, the original mission was burned to the ground in 1770 by Apache Raiders. The current mission was constructed in 1793 as it stands today. It is known as The White Dove of the Desert. This was the cultural center of the region; here locals received the Word of God, traded goods and celebrated events of significant occasion in and around the mission.

A handsome and talented Great Horned Owl intently keeps a keen eye on the shared nest with young fledglings to feed around the clock.
Owl the savvy hunter he is, resources the saguaro cactus to keep a protective vigilance on the nest while using 360' turn radius to hunt from the vantage point.
The rare occasion of a fully bloomed saguaro may happen but just once a year. In very fortunate timing the male is perched on the cactus long enough to snap the capture in soft daylight of the sunrise.
Owl is a wild owl and not a capture or rescued owl; but the head of the new owl family out west, where their future is guaranteed by the other families in the owl network.
The corrupt owls have been dispatched and all matters settled.

Only the Wind Talks Now
Whispers of a Nations Pain
The Pueblo Ruins sit in silence, only time passes through the deep and narrow canyon today.
The spirits of the dead inhabit this place, as this was the battle site of the Massacre at Mummy Cave.
Navajo Nation was encamped in the Canyon during 1864. The U.S. Calvary was dispatched to end the conflict between the U.S. Army and the Navajo. The Calvary Massacred 11 Navajo at the Mummy Cave leaving behind only the Pueblo Ruins.
The desecration of the sight remains a tragedy, 2,500 years of peaceful inhabitance in the canyon ended with death & destruction.

A Time For War
A Red Tailed Hawk soars high above the desert in the updraft of a very warm spring afternoon.
The frenzied hunt and kill to support the next generation becomes a fierce battle for control of the sky above the desert.
The hawk is known as the bird of war, recognized by Native American traditions of warriors wearing the feathers into battle.

Before the Navajo or the Hopi People occupied the canyon, their very own mythology details the Anasazi or Ancient Ones as people unto themselves, as Old as the Earth.

And behold, they brought to him a man sick of palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing of their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; “Son be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth!
An Jesus knowing their thoughts said; “ Wherefore do you think evil in your hearts?
For weather it is easier, to say, Thy Sins be Forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and Walk?
“But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins.
He instructs the man of palsy.
“Arise, take up thy bed and go back to thine own house.
And he arose and departed to his house.
But when the multitude saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, which hath given such powers to men.

Adobe Pueblo Cliff Dwellings
The Hopi Peoples where the first to construct dwellings in the canyon, starting about 850 A.D. with simple brick of sun baked mud and straw.
The colorful streaks on the canyon walls are stained by mineral deposits of blue Cobalt and dark red Magnesium.
The constructed dwellings hosted hunter gatherers for centuries, before populations dwindled from drought and lower survival rates as a result.
The Hopi Peoples followed the heard, and the herd follows the rain, east by south east to the Rio Grande River Basin.

The Cliff Dwelling and Pueblo Ruins at Montezuma Castle where built into a section of sandstone overlooking the Verde River Valley. The sculpture by removal and early adobe brick laying has been preserved by the sheet rock overhang and the dry climate of the past millennia.
Built 1250 A.D. by the Senegua Tribe who inhabited the lands in the Verde River Valley; the hunter gatherer tribe planted and stored crops in sealed stash houses in the desert foothills above the valley. They where defending their food supply when they vanished to the east following years of drought.

Similarly there are clear and visible layers of sandstone between the red rock of the formation. Indicating that the rock was once covered in fresh water and ocean water at different time periods of the local geological history.
So what was once, ocean and what was once lake is now the high desert pushing into the pine forrest.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou are with me; thy rod and they staff comfort me.
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anoints my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surley goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Some fell upon stoney places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of the earth:
And when the sun was up they where scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
And some fell among thrones; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold and some thirty fold.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

1 Corinthians: 8-13
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now all we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am known.
And now these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

In the Hebrew tradition of the time Ecclesiastes was written, men embraced each other by wrapping their arms around each other as a greeting and sign of friendship.
The word embrace is also used in the context of embracing the scripture, the written word as a symbol or act pleasing to God and recognizable by other worthy men.
A Time to Refrain from Embrace would be avoiding some one out of anger or jealousy, or presenting false witness as friendship, not pleasing to God and easily recognizable by worthy men.

1 Corinthians 4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Dear Sir;
So many people ask me what they shall do; few tell me what they can do. Yet this is the pivot wherein all must turn.
I believe that each of us who has his place to make should go where men are wanted, and where employment is not bestowed as alms. Of course, I say to all who are in want of work, Go West!

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me, that bear not fruit he takes away: and every branch that fruits, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Now you are clean through the word I have spoken unto you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
I am the vine, you are the branches: he that abide in me, and I in him, the same bring forth much fruit: for without me, you can do nothing.
A Great Horned Owl Mama Mia’ protects her chicks with the bow of her enormous wing span, keeping them safe from nasty aggressive predators as Black Crows, Ravens, Roadrunners and Reptiles.
The nest, built into the folded arms of a Majestic Saguaro Cacti provide a natural barrier to deter predation.
Her eyes reflect the amazing sunset she is looking into, as the tapetum lucidum layer in the retina catch the rays of the setting sun.
Owls eyes are much more sensitive in low light than human vision in minimal light.

Equestrian Therapy encompasses a range of treatments that involve activity with horses to promote physical as well as mental health.
This holistic practice roots back to antiquity, with Modern Applications becoming popular in the 1960’s.
The Babylonians domesticated horses, using them in their powerful military calvary about 2,200 B.C. described in stone carvings in modern day Iran and Iraq.
Equestrian Therapy has brought those with disabilities of all natures closer to self consciousness, happiness and joyful lessons.

Don Vito a Great Horned Owl has sold his olive oil company interests back in New York and has moved all the family assets out west.
This single move guaranteed the Keiling Family’s safety, well being and future successes with greater abundance in new endeavors.
My father is dead.
All Family Matters where resolved back in 2012 and I am now the sitting head of the Family.
Be aware of imposters posing as the oldest Keiling son.
If you where not born a Keiling Child, then clearly you are not a Keiling Child. You and your insignificant other have no business consulting and advising against any of the Keiling Children against another Keiling Child for any reason at any time.
I do not apologize for facts.
You played a key role in dividing the Keiling Family Children against each other. Pandering for coin or your own personal gain of access to what is clearly not “all yours”, may your soul perish is the eternal flames of hell with your little Prissy Pen Pal.
Enablers will face face God too.
You have not only separated the Three Keiling Children, for your own benefit, but you have forever divided a family that you don’t belong to.
Actions have consequences.
Best regards;
Now Retired at Lone Mountain Estates

Man Art Dust and to Dust Man Shall Return
Like Misty Rain to the Raging River
And the Raging River into the Peaceful Endless Sea
My eyes have been witness to both
Held a newborn and heard her first cry
Held the drying and heard the last goodby
In life I have walked upon lofty clouds and laughed aloud
Touching the earth one last time before I die
Yet I Arise and face the day with first light of the sky
My arms have withered my bones have dried
Windswept I inch closer to the edge
Snapping the fragile branches of late in life
Storm after storm pull my last green leaf into the Raging River
and back to the Peace of the Eternal Sea
Witness to God’s Glory On Earth

From the Gospel of Luke 5: 12-16
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy; who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if though wilt, thou can make me clean.
And he put forth is hand, and touched him, saying, I will: “be thou clean”. And immediately the leprosy left him.
And he charged him to “tell no man": but go, and show thy self to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
But so is much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Amen.
Saguaro Blossoms open with the morning star, representing the healing and cleansing of soul, this is my offering for mercy received; by the commandment of Moses I share with you.
As for my testimony as Moses commanded; I assure you it is real as the ocean is deep and as old as time, it is a world without end.
Amen
