Dakota recently performed a powerful rendition of Feeling Good at his grandmother's 70th birthday party. His vocal quality just keeps getting better. Watch the video below and judge for yourself:
About Me
- Barry Moses (Sulustu)
- Spokane, WA
- This blog began as a way to stay in touch with family and friends, but my purpose has expanded somewhat to include other topics of interest. In particular, I find myself drawn to indigenous cultures, spirituality, nature connection, and family history. I sometimes comment on other ideas, but these topics provide the most meaning for me. Sometimes I'm tempted to increase readership by specializing in a single, narrow topic, but in the end, I prefer my original intent. My blogging is sustained by a few guiding values. First, my blog should add value to the world. Second, most of us love technology, but much of what I write points back to simpler things like spending time with loved ones or connecting with the earth. Finally, I prefer to write from my own first-person experience. Anyone can rant over politics or pop culture, but my greatest contribution to the world is to live courageously and to always speak from my heart.

Father
"Take away all doubts, all fears, and only your spirit remains: pure love; that is as close to our Creator as we can be." ~Ed Moses
"It is the same for all men. None of us can escape this shadow of the father, even if that shadow fills us with fear, even if it has no name or face. To be worthy of that man, to prove something to that man, to exorcise the memory of that man from every corner of our life—however it affects us, the shadow of that man cannot be denied." ~Kent Nerburn
"The first thing I learned was respect for all things, because everything has a spirit." ~Ed Moses
"My religion starts from the heart." ~Ed Moses
"Songs made from dreams hold their power forever. Any power given in a dream is a gift from the spirit to help the people." ~Ed Moses
Rhonda
"When you hear the music, own it and let your body move in whichever way it takes you. Dance your life. Trust your spirit the way you trust the music." ~Rhonda Moses
"Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry." ~Tom Mullen
Dakota
"Until you have a son of your own . . . you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be." ~Kent Nerburn
McKenna
"What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be." ~Helen Claes
Whitney
"A daughter is a gift of love." ~Author Unknown
Anthony
"Never cease loving a person, and never give up hope for him, for even the prodigal son who had fallen most low, could still be saved; the bitterest enemy and also he who was your friend could again be your friend; love that has grown cold can kindle.” ~Soren Kierkagaard
Derrick
"It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons." ~Friedrich von Schiller
