One would think that it would be a sort of primer on Native American Spirituality. In fact, while there are allusions and some pointed specifications \u2013 it is not. The book seems to be a collection of random, thought-provoking poetry and some non-topical materials that were perhaps at one time, articles. Here and there are some really interesting, beautiful sketches.<\/p>\n<p>In its entirety, the book seems scattered, unfocused and a bit off the wall. Had it been centered on poetry, or articles, or artwork \u2013 that would have helped matters greatly, but the three formats bundled together into one binding creates chaos where I don\u2019t believe any was intended. Having read some of the author\u2019s more recent work, this book leaves a great deal to be desired. It\u2019s nice, but cluttered. Too cluttered.<\/p>\n<p>Quote pg. 67 para. 1-3<br \/>\n<em>\u201cPeace: \u2018Free of conflict or disturbance.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>There is no peace in the natural world. The ocean we named Pacific is anything but tranquil. What appears as peaceful is the occasionally calm surface, concealing mighty currents underneath. Even this is a moving line between two elements, a porous membrane where different powers touch. Nature\u2019s diverse expressions are the result of determined individuation. Life\u2019s many shapes are formed by the tension between opposable forces.<\/p>\n<p>Life exists by feeding on life, the aggressive act of predation. Scientists have proven what primitive people already knew, that even plants experience pain when killed. Vegetarianism seems peaceful because we fail to hear their screams.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not for everyone, but worth a look if you come across it in the library.
