This is a sharing of a story, my story. Throughout all of history,
the most ancient knowing has been carried forward through the
telling of our stories. The fact that this is my story is of no
particular importance, it just happens to be the story I know best.
The writing itself became a journey. I traveled deep into a valley
of fear and doubt, and then found my way out. On the way, I was
reminded of my life purpose-to be a spirit whose light shines also
on the path of others, poking them in the butt with a "Go for it
This life is yours here and NOW." However, my transformation is not
a one-sided proposition. There are over six billion people living
on this planet. Each of us is able to read the signs and find the
courage to create an amazing life story if only we will. Together,
we can discover the nature of this universe as it reveals itself to
us and through us. When I was writing this book at my home in
beautiful downtown Vancouver, an eagle often circled the building
in which I lived, visiting many times. Then one day when I was at a
low point and doubting my direction, a coyote also came to visit.
Sitting on the grass across the street, it looked toward me as if
encouraging me on. City workers came a few days later and placed a
sign directly in front of that building-"Warning Coyote has been
spotted here." So, led by the spirit of coyote, eagle and the many
other guides of the universe, I was able to complete this tale. Its
primary message is about following the call of my body, mind and
spirit. On my journey, I agreed to fully own my place in life
wherever I happened to be. Although shadows sometimes hid the path,
I rejoiced on my way to the sun and the bright peaks beyond. My
wish is that you will be entertained, and perhaps even inspired, by
my intentional walk. Even though the experiences I describe may be
difficult for some to believe, others will know of what I write.
Whether this story brings you comfort or not, my hope is that you
will question your own experience to the same degree you may
question mine. As a wise old monk once told me, "Just take from
this what works for you and leave the rest with us." I invite you
to do just that. Everything that I write is based on my actual
experience but, in some cases, composite characters facilitate the
telling and protect the identity of others. For example, my dear
friends in Burma are ruled by a cruel military that would not
hesitate to cause them harm. Their true identities must not be
revealed. If any good comes of this situation, let it be increased
public awareness of what is unacceptable and must come to an end. I
pray every day that a resolution may take place without the loss of
more lives. I have endeavored to recreate each scene in the book
with as much accuracy as the veils of time and memory would permit.
Although certain details may have been distorted, know that the
main emphasis is still the overall message. In the end, this is all
that matters.
