ISBN: 0813017548 ISBN-13: 9780813017549 Publisher: University Press of Florida OUR PRICE: $17.96 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: February 2000 Annotation: Echoing the ancient sounds of the Native American oral tradition, wisdom keeper Gabriel Horn (White Deer of Autumn) writes in praise of the primal mind. With a profound affinity for Florida's beauty, Horn shares the wisdom he has learned from dolphins in the Florida Keys. He describes his wonder at the splendor of the natural world and his respect for the spirits of the supernatural realms and the Star People of our possible future who inhabit those realms in ancient stories. Sometimes angry, always generous, he implores the reader to contemplate modern society's rejection of the sacred and to seek a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. His search for dignity, while grappling with the complexities of contemporary life, lifts his story from personal memoir to universal truth. |
