This is a story that a Hopi Elder told me. It very very very old story that has been passed down through many many many generations. His Grandmother told him this story and He passed it on to me. I told him there is a bunch of Coyotes out in the field and they keep waking me up at night and I am about get my lever action 3030 and chase them off. He laughed and said Coyotes eat bad spirits that is why they sound like drunk dogs. Then he told me this story that his grandmother passed down to him. It is also a very old old story spanning back many many generations. I love the Hopi. Every tribe in north and south America calls them Eldest. They are a people of peace. They have existed peacefully for thousands upon thousands of years. Some of their stories are also found in the Bible such as the Great flood, long before the internet and star link were a thing. I have a special bond with the Hopi.
One day a certain coyote was talking with some little blue birds. He said it must be amazing to fly like you do. I wish I could fly. The blue birds said You can. You can fly like we do. He said I have jumped as high as I could, but I cannot fly. The little blue birds said but you can fly. we will help you. You can fly!
The Coyote asked the little blue birds how can you help me? The little blue birds said go over to that cactus and rip it open with your mouth. So the Coyote did. The blue birds said now rub all that stuff inside it all over you. The Coyote was reluctant but really wanted to fly so he did and it made him all sticky. Then the little blue birds flew over and each took some of their feathers off and put their feathers on him. The little blue birds said go lay in the sun so our feather will dry and be stuck to you. The Coyote went laid in the sun with the feathers from all the blue birds stuck to him to let them dry. As the coyote laid there in the sun, he fell asleep and dreamed about flying.
When the coyote woke up after his nap in the sun. The blue birds said you are awake! now you are ready to fly! They said go over to this cliff and jump off and you will fly. The coyote walked over to the cliff and looked down. It was a long fall, and he would surlily die if he didn’t fly. He looked over at the blue birds and said are you sure? If I don’t fly? I will fall to my death. All the blue birds said you will fly. Take that leap of faith. The coyote looked down then looked at the sky above several times. The little blue birds said You are the Great and Mighty Coyote! You shall surely Fly!
The Coyote leapt off the cliff and started to fall and screamed Help Me! The little blue birds said Fly! Then all the sudden, that certain Coyote started to fly. The Coyote said I am Flying! I am Flying! The little blue birds said You are! you are! We told you! We told you could fly! The Coyote flew and was amazed at all he could see. He flew higher and higher looking down all the people and animals below became as small as ants compared to him. He flew Higher and Higher and Higher.
This certain Coyote flew as High as the Sun and the Moon, the stars and the planets. He looked down upon the earth below, he could hold it in his paw. The Coyote yelled down to the earth below, I am the Great and Mighty Coyote! There is none like me! I and I alone rule the world below. The Sun and the Moon and the stars and all the planets all belong to me now!
Upon hearing this, the little blue birds regretted helping the Coyote to fly. They flew up to him and each pecked their feathers off of him and took them back.
This certain Coyote fell and fell and fell back to the earth below. The Coyote fell so hard that he fell deep into the earth and was seen no more. Then all the little blue birds gathered around and sang a song.
This is a story that a Hopi Elder told me. It very very very old story that has been passed down through many many many generations. His Grandmother told him this story and He passed it on to me. May even be a prophecy.

I love the story. I’m not sure if you intended it to follow up on the AI post, but as I read the tale I thought about the desire and illusion of control, as well as the overconfidence I hear. The blue birds are like those researchers who now have second thoughts.
Every single miracle creation story (or “post” as you called it) on this site is made through intuitive means by The Power of God working through my experiances. Each miracle creation story, weaves in symphony concert creating an elaborate tapestry whole.
Even the comments play have their role.
Some need no comment at all. Just the rush of the waves felt.
John, You do know these are all not just true to life miracle stories right?
These are also parables. Jesus spoke in parables.
Some of these parables are about religious organizations. Some of these parables are about Financial Empires. Some of these parables are about countries that are now and some that haven’t even been born yet.
Some of these addresses the individual and some address the individual and humanity as a whole simultaneously.
Even the garden of Eden started with a seed. The seed was the word that spoke it and all creation into existence. The Tree of life started with a seed. The Treed of wisdom of knowledge of Good and Evil started with a seed.
within a single apple seed holds the potential to create a thousand thousand orchards. Each true story of a miracle holds the potential to create a thousand thousand orchards of true miracle experiences.
I am just the vessel. It is The Father that doeth the work.
I edited the last comment for clarification. There is many gifted people visiting this site, even though they don’t comment. Many who are masters of their trade. Some you may know and some you may have heard of. Some who may never be known. Yet they are masters of the time, some are masters of space, some are masters of creating. Some are masters of finance. Some are spiritual gurus. Even though they do not comment, it doesn’t mean they are not present none the less. Even though they don’t comment doesn’t mean they are not proficient in their skills.
This entire website creation is not just about benefiting me or showing others what God did for me and can do for them. It’s a living creation. Much like those 25 adults and 25 kids who got off the boat on the shores of Alki Beach in that first step of faith, became Seattle in the future.
Hope that makes sense.
I appreciate the website Andy. Thank you for creating it. I was thinking about “Tangible Realities” earlier.
I just realized that today is 12 years since Atun when end of the world happened on12/12/12 and we entered Terrance McKenna’s eschaton.
Thank you, that is interesting. Thank you for sharing. You are welcome. With respect, I don’t want to further detract anything more from very very old story handed down from generation to generation through the oldest tribe in North and South America that I was privileged to hear and pass on. This story could be over 5000 years old and had never been told before outside the Hopi Tribe. If ya catch my drift. This story merits its own value.
