Indioravens world

To our Elders, who teach us of our creation and our past, so we my preserve mother earth for ancestors yet to come, we are the lands. This is dedicated to our relatives before us thousands of years ago, and the 1,500 million who were exterminated across the western hemisphere in the first four hound years time starting in 1492.

Love The World

Love the world
By J. Vaughan & M. Rebennack (1994)

Love the world gave his only son
To live and love in this world as one
Love the world. Gave his only son
In this mean ol’ world so much work to be done
Down here a-crin’ can’t hear nobody pray
Drink of the holy water
Drink of the holy blood
Walk through the shadow in the valley
Lead us through the deep end mud
Love the world. His love will never end
He made a garden of love for mankind to tend
Love the world
Love the world
Love the world
Love the world
Love the world

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Hello again,

It has been a while since my last entry. Life has kept me busy in the last few months. After the last entry in August I keep telling myself to post new information and enter my thoughts, but there was always some kind of a distraction, the main one was that school would be starting in August and I needed to get myself ready mentally. I also spend my time working on small projects around the house, clearing the yard and tending to the garden. To tell you the truth I tried to do too many things all at once in a short period of time.

With start of school the last month has been spend reading and more reading. I spend most my time on the computer working on assignments and conducting research. I have also managed to spend at list a few minutes every day on line both in the am and late at night checking my Face book account, and the Family web-page for updates and family news. I also have a twitter account that I do not use very much but I go and check for updates from NHRA.com and KUNM.ogr at least once a week.

Excretes from Facebook.com:

David Cantu: Just finished chatting with my (teenage) niece, who is in FLA on her way back to San Antonio after a long summer vacation with her Mom's Family. She is teaching me about, how most teenagers’ brains work. Or how teenagers think, this helps me with my teaching strategies.


Henry Cantu: what’s up cuz! Hey man it’s great to see your still rocking our culture. I would like to do a dedication piece to our ancestors. So I will need your help on an image for some canvas. Let me know. ---- can2

David Cantu:
I am back at home In San Eli; the trip to San Antonio was all good. Looks like much more work need to be done, but I will not have to travel for a while. Saturday I had lunch with Leslie. I spend yesterday with family they had a cook out for a little cousin’s birthday party, sure did have some good food. The trip back was cool I got to see a thunder storm toward the Big Bend National Park. The rain made its way to I-10 between FT. Stockton and Kent Tx. just before getting to I-10 / I-20 junction a few miles before Van Horn. Sorry no pictures it’s had to drive at take photos.


As you see I did spend a few days in San Antonio. I am still trying to do too many small projects at home and spend most my time on school activities. I will try and take more photos this month just have to carry the camera with me when I go out. I think the first little photo adventure will be at Lincoln’s Dairy down the road. They have a mini zoo and they still make fresh cheese products.
