I wrote this song after doing a Vision Quest, on top of Sage Peak. A 10,000 foot high granite peak, on the northern edge of Yellowstone Park. It was a very physically demanding, sometimes painful, but an incredible rewarding experience. It changed my life and sprititual philosophies. So many thanks to my 'Horse & trusted friend, 'Mescalito', the best Mountain Horse ever, (R.I..P) And to 'Tipi' Tom Heintz for his savvy, direction, ability and motivation, and most of all, his "Medicine Lake Guide Service", that offers truely magical "Wild Back Country" experiences. & to 'Burton - Pretty - Top', my ' Crow Medicine Man Brother', who interpreted my venture & meanings. I advise everyone to experience Tom Heintz', 'Lap of Mother Nature' in such a way. There would be no reason for 'politicians or preachers' Last but not least, thanks to Michael Keaton & Chip Walter for their inspiration of witness, while sharing the Yellowstone Wildlands together. They both, are a walking testimony, that the 'Wildland Spirit' is still alive and well. The "Coyote Angel Band" for recording this with me, and bringing it to life, so I could share it... i.e. Bart Koehler, Michael Blessing and Craig Hall. Aho....................
