Yonder Mountain; Or, the Life Between
is a pleasant
blend of fact and fiction
; of
short stories
and
sketches
boyhood memories
and the elapse of time between. It is written with the tender care and
wisdom
of a true elder who has spent his life in
love of creation and Creator
, and has been skillfully interlaced with the
simple timeless truthes
of the
Native American
people and their beautiful way of life.
It is a book of small things . . .
genuine things
, like friendly forest critters, campfires, and a
rustic mountainside cabin
where stories of yesteryear live-on and the haunting shrills of a loon can be heard penetrating deep into the night air from a woodland lake below.
And lastly, it is a book of short meaningful
poems
watercolor vignettes
that, at first glance, could appear to be the
paintings of
a little child
, yet somehow still possess that rare, seasoned, almost
mystical power
to suck you into that
cozy
little place where we have ALL longed to be . . . Yonder Mountain.
