"A long time ago a loon was badly hurt. His spirit was broken, and his mind and body were confused because he drank too much alcohol This loon lived on the lake of firewater and he was surrounded by many other loons who lived in the same state of confusion The lake was polluted and the surroundings of the lake were not very pretty to look at because all the loons that lived on the lake drank too much. One day the loon met three other loons from a different lake. The confused loon, the one with the broken spirit, began to talk with the visiting loons. The two loons, Eddy and Michael, were generous and took time to communicate with the loon. The talked and walked the sweetgrass road with the broke-spirited loon. The told him that 'only through simple honesty and kindness are we able to build our true fire. If we cannot build this fire we eventually die.'" (p.39-40)
I wrote this book to help other people, who, like the broken-spirited loon, need help to fly. My prayer is that everyone who reads this book will discover their own inner fire and ability to fly. I hope that you will have the opportunity to find this book and read it and pass on the wisdom you gain as you read. That wisdom comes from your inner fire as you engage with the teachings contained in the book.
May you walk well with the Creator.
