Today’s blog will just be an update about me. You have been so patient over the past month, miigwetch (thank you). In early June, everything was coming at me at once from every direction, probably
something to do with the super-moon; things have settled down now in ways which have surprised even me.
Confucius said, “The road of life is long”; as a spiritualist I believe
that I will not leave this life until I have accomplished what I was put here to do. I know that Spirit of the 8th Fire one day soon will open as a
spiritual healing centre. I know that I am to share my Angels of the Road
experience through my writing. I know that I have a short allegory fiction to write. Also there was the possibility of going back to work in an industry that I love, working with street people.
After six months of trying to get something happening in Victoria. The job which I was interviewing for passed me over… so I asked the universe/god for guidance. What do I need to do first to move my life forward? The answer was clear (or so I thought) to write. OK don’t have
to be in the big city to do that, so I decided to move up island (Vancouver
Island), I chose Nanaimo because it is a medium size town with services, lots of green space and still on the coast.
I had a strong feeling that my art (I’m a pretty good painter & crafter) is to support me while I write and my writing will support the healing centre. A simple chain of events; now that I have been given some guidance.
So I moved into a little bachelor apartment, fully prepared to be inspired to create a few canvases and get this ball rolling. Here comes the surprise (the one I mentioned in my blog a couple of weeks back). There is a large children’s playground across the street from my building and I thought it would be fun to take my drum over and tell some Native legends to anyone who wished to listen. I know several Ojibwa Legends from when I lived in Thunder Bay and a few Mohawk Legends from when I lived in eastern Ontario. Suddenly one morning a new legend starting downloading into my brain. It came as a rhyme, a creation myth which introduces spiritual concepts of vibration, manifestation and interconnectedness to very young children. I did not see that coming… the idea of writing for children had never entered my head.
Surprise! I’m a children’s author LOL. I guess the expression of art will be illustrating this book ;-). It will be available well before the Holiday gifting season. In soft cover it should sell for about $12 - $15. No decision has been made on how it will be distributed. I will need to consult with my friend Justis Chase (a medium & spiritual coach) who has done some self publishing. If I decide to self publish, I will go with a small run of 100 books. There is also something called publish-on-demand I will look into as an option. Until I learn more I really can’t say… If you have any ideas you want to share on publishing options please email me.
Have a joyous week.
