Heap Wolves came to me through more than coincidence.
(page 1 of 2)
Someone asked one day if I ever experienced a miracle
“Which one do you want to know about?” I said .
It all started when someone gave me a book about North America which had a picture of my dad with shoulder length hair and American Indian style bone arrangement down his chest . Or at least he was an absolute double for my dad which struck me , so much , I left the book standing up and open beside my bed . Next morning , having slept for a few hours , I sat up staring into his face wondering what could this mean . Out of total frustration at not knowing I then chanted in American Indian style . “I a wach a hai a wach ca hi y a wach a hi ha hi hi a . I a wach a hi a wach a hi a wacha hi a hia . I chanted for a while going in and out of a trance like state wondering what could this mean , ” Barney your loosin the plot here” I said to myself arriving back to reality without much ado . OK! so whats he saying ? Looking at the stance he took in the picture , with his long hair and dressed with all them bones on his chest ,the way he stood chest out ,chin up , he was only saying one thing , You are never going to kill me . I woke from my chant come trance asking myself , what , in one word , did he say ?
Timelessness!. That’s what he said , your never going to kill me . Timelessness . I was amazed but to be honest I was a bit pissed off that he didn’t jump out of the page and do any little rain dance or anything like that . I thought maybe he could have given me a little wink or something , I having gone to the boundaries of sanity and what if someone next door heard me . But there was nothing . I was making it all up in my head and it was definite that I was loosin the plot . OK enough of that I thought , Ive got things to do . All that remained was to read the caption beside his picture which I purposely hadn’t read beforehand which said his name was Wondering Wolves who was killed a week later in battle . I chanted once more to say goodbye and leave him in peace before I prepaired to go and do some things . Before I left something told me to read the caption again , which I did , to realize that his name was in fact Heap Wolves . I thought how could I make such a mistake , who is Wondering Wolves , then I realised in Timelessness which could only ever happen one time there could be no such thing as mistakes .Then I stood up in further amazement to realize that must be my soul name given to me by Heap Wolves . Wow! I thought ” I a wacha !” or what ? But it was late and I had to go . Go away Heap Wolves your windin me up , so out the door I stumbled leaving my trance behind me trying to grab some semblance of reality .(more on page two→)
