HIGH EAGLE'S NEST

SOUL FIRE ODYSSEY

When one thinks of a soul, various images come to mind.
Generally speaking,
a SOUL is an immortal or spiritual entity of mankind,
having no material nor physical reality.
It is the unseen, moral, imprisoned part of mankind.

Originally regarded as one of the basic four elements,
FIRE can also be thought of as an ardor,
strong feeling or excitement.

An ODYSSEY is any extended wandering or journey.
The title of this book, SOUL FIRE ODYSSEY, I think,
pretty well describes the human existence: an excited soul on a journey.

To me, that is what SOUL FIRE ODYSSEY is all about.
From the day we are born until the day we die,
we are all on a certain wandering . . .
a path or trail of life's discovery,
laden with many treasures to find,
but also mined with obstacles and pitfalls.

This book is written not as an authority on the subject of life,
but as a person who views life and its many aspects
as not only a challenge, but an opportunity.
The passages describe many aspects of everyday living,
some recorded through the vision of
one Native American Indian's perspective,
and some written as if completely masked by
anything other than a contemporary writer in a modern,
contemporary setting,
but heavily influenced by his external stimuli.

The world no longer is a quiet place.
Nature cannot be heard nor witnessed without
some type of interference or disturbance.
It is difficult, if not impossible,
to go back to the days when people were not
so heavily influenced by their artificial environments
and living patterns.

Thus, the thoughts contained within the following pages
were born in the moments . . .
thoughts that came to conscious during the time
when an event or experience took place that prompted them,
and at least,
stimulated them to be recorded.
There is really no use in technically examining the wording
or phrasing structure.

Certainly,
more proper use of English could have been employed,
but the main concentration was to capture
not only the thought of the moment,
but also the feeling recorded with it.
In that,
the reader will find and relate to his or her own feelings
about the thoughts.

No one is asked to agree or disagree with the passages.
If for nothing else, hopefully,
I will have at least, been understood.
And truly, isn't that all anyone wishes from another?

Yes, you too, are a soul on a journey -- a soul on fire!
May yours be one filled with the magic of life,
and may you uncover its many mysteries
along the path of celebration.
May every step you take upon Mother Earth
be as a prayer on Her,
and May you be blessed with many blessings.
A-ho! I have spoken!
