Coming Home On the Wind: Stories of Kinship and Healing in Nature

An invitation to dance from the heart in communion with all nature, Coming Home On the Wind reminds us that Spirit is fully infused into each moment of life and through all Creation. Heartfelt encounters and relationships with animals, both wild and domestic, are interspersed through Earth-centered teachings to enable us to release the painfully separating delusion of species superiority. Once we are humble enough to listen, our hearts can begin to hear the subtle whisperings of Taku Skan Skan, the Lakota for The Spirit That Flows Through All Things. The whispers become clearer the more we listen. Skunks, spiders, cats, dogs, coyotes, hummingbirds, horses and many more reflect our own wholeness back to us through tales of playfulness, mischief, vulnerability, strength, sadness, loss and more. A strong emphasis is placed on putting the well worn critic aside so self love and compassion may return to take their rightful places in each of our lives and in our relationships. 

Herbal wisdom, homeopathy, spiritual healing and loving relationships are woven throughout the primary story of a pregnant rescue mare named Rosa whose journey through a near fatal neurological illness brings healing to the author and later to others who meet her. 

Adventure ensues when Rosa’s colt arrives. His subsequent training by the very green author whose only skills in raising horses lay in her ability to communicate telepathically brings lots of opportunity for laughs. As stories unfold, readers might likely ask, “Who’s teaching who here?!” The colt’s strong curiosity and eagerness to bond are essential for their success, especially given his natural penchant for fire and dominance.

The importance of respectful relationships appears in other stories as well; a potentially scary cougar who needed a home, a black widow who did not bite, hummingbirds who healed, wind that warned, rain that blessed and of course Unci Maka, Grandmother Earth herself. 

Coming Home On the Wind is available as a paper book or Kindle ebook on Amazon.
