A world of people of many origins Native First Nations and other have
gathered around this one's man's journey
His story , his friendships, his travel..
Not to conquer the world but to conquer the hearts.
Wherever he lays his head, sending a message
of the Oneness of Mankind
Even the birds are following....
This great Bird....Gordon Bird, ~Circle Dancing EAGLE..
A healing message to all who will listen.
While we all light the fires of friendship with the aboriginal people.

In the words of Gordon BIRD , who is writing a book
which he calls the BIOBIRD
while adding his attention to his carefully prepared journey
and mission
A mediation on an early morning..before the break of dawn..
A new kind of Dawnbreaker, A native Cree from Canada.

At the end of day's ride there is no one there to cheer, and at the
beginning of the day there is still no one to cheer for the beginning,
instead my cheering committee are the birds who begin at 4:30 am, and
the birds are the last ones i hear at the end of the day. That rocks,
the creators personal cheering squad I love being Indigenous in this
time of life. take care everyone, i will be Peterborough by early
evening. Chat with you then and send some new photos to. Peace and
Love Gordon Circle Dancing Eagle

We can all send our encouragements!
Positive energy and good prayers for his journey and safety!
Birds of many feathers flock together.. while this one keeps riding!
A special bird on wheels.
