.....Virtues the Dingo desired out of Life, after many roads & paths he found all that & much more.....
.....in a Man Named Clay whose Virtues were severely tested by the Dingo.....
.....One's Strengths are the Other's Weakness' and One's Weakness' are the Other's Strengths.....
.....the Dingo's cold blooded Heart opened as he Loved again yet his Heart continued to bleed
as Clay gave himself over completely to the Dingo.....
Clay's hardened steel Virtues remained in their foundation throughout it all
as the Dingo slowly faded away while they continued loving each other.....
Clay Loved the Dingo & the Dingo Loved Clay as they Lived and Embraced Life!

The other night my soul hit the pavement
And I looked up, and I didn't have eyes
Oh to see the beauty, joy and the tenderness
The reasons why a man's alive
Sometimes a darkness falls upon the spirit
And it gets dark like there ain't never been light
May be angels singing, but you don't want to hear it
That inner flame ain't burning so bright
Every love has a whole in the middle
Where the wickedness always survives
Eats at your soul, maybe just a little
Then it gets as big as the night
Doesn't matter how much you show her
Sure don't matter what she's trying to show you
When you can't feel it, that love seems to scatter
And precious little gonna see you through
There's a line you can hold
Through the separateness and sin
Open up your soul
And let the sky fall in
The deepest journeys pass through the wilderness
The desert where the burning question resides
To taste the magic you must first suck the emptiness
From a cup that is always dry
Inside the silence, and total aridity
Where the horizon is a perfect line
Lies a drop that precedes the humidity
Of simple grace, that pours like wine
And you'll find no saints here
When the going gets this rough
But you may find grace
If you're lucky enough
And we're going on faith here
and all of that kind of stuff
and even grace
if we're lucky enough

Honest Heart "Mike" with a Great Ear,
and Much More, for the Dingo!
There's still Gold up there in Washington.

One of the very few people who helped the Dingo
answer that "burning question" in that desert!
Ms. Bettye's Heart has helped lift many a person out
of that darkness. When the Dingo had strayed out of the
Flock Ms. Bettye's Light unwittingly guided the old boy
back to where he originally was, within his Sacred Circle.

Apple pie, sweet iced tea, catfish dinner, "bun on the run", real cast iron skillet biscuits,
an honor system for all, looking out after others unselfishly, bird lover,
hostess & cook for gawd only knows how many bikers and not afraid to take leaps based upon Faith alone -
Ms. Bettye is truly a unique one of a kind person that's hard to find in today's world!
She's no longer at that place above but is now, finally, taking care of Ms. Bettye!

"Biker Jimmy" aka Peter who came from Switzerland down to the Big Bend via Los Angeles on his Honda
to ride the Big Bend along the Rio Grande with the Dingo. Peter spent some days and nights out there
and the Dingo shared with Biker Jimmy as Peter shared with the Dingo.
The DingoMan was humbled and honored someone would travel around the world to meet him!

Closest to the Dingo's Heart were women & children - Always! The Dingo had it rough growing up as a child,
living with abusive dysfunctional adults who drank, dealt drugs and people who had absolutely no morals or
spiritual roots. Those who knew the old boy in his later years knew how close he was to issues of
homelessness, HIV, poverty and abuse. The Dingo was always promoting understanding and compassion.
In his latter years he very quietly spent much time, effort, energy
and his own resources trying to make a difference. Those in the Austin area will remember his efforts with
Positive Threads and his outreach to women, children and people of color with HIV.

The Dingo insisted that he really wasn't going
to marry her and he also said he and she did
not get it on. Sometimes the Dingo was not
always honest about who he slept with or
screwed around with for that matter. Truth be
known, he did get it on with the old gal since
she "bewitched" him. No excuse some might
say but the Dingo was enamored by this gal.
Fact of the matter is, so were many others over
the years down in Terlingua. This old gal is a
legend in herself but sadly its a bad one. Little
old ladies are not always as nice as they
appear to be. This one in fact has no heart and
no love for anything - she's cheated many
honest people over the years! The Dingo was
attracted to the obvious - he liked her tits! da
Dingo didn't allow her to steal from him - he
saw through her. His heart was still with Clay
and she finally realized just that!

Those the Dingo loved the most, Those he considered his truest friends,
Those he held close to his heart and were always with him in spirit,
Those who gave him their Love.....
He said that he will always be within, around and about them in Spirit.....
Blessed Be! to them and a few others shown within these pages.....

All men dream: but not equally. Those who
dream by night in the dusty recesses of
their minds wake in the day to find that it
was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are
dangerous men, for they may act their
dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
This I did. T. E. Lawrence

The DingoMan could be a cold hearted asshole at times - when deeply hurt he tended to strike back with a vengeance - often striking at
those closest to him. More often than not, rather than striking back he would just get on his motorcycle and ride away, choosing to take
those long rides to clear his head and thoughts and then come back to deal with that hurt in a more positive manner. Those who truly knew
the old boy shared that pain with him and always knew that when he came back he would always attempt to make amends.
This web site is dedicated not to Jim but to those who Loved him and stood by him, particularly his former partner, Clay Williams!
