Description
Creation and Flood stories are foundational in spiritual traditions all over the world. This book is a contemporary re-tellling of one of those stories, the one told by the People of the Sun, known as the Yavapai tribe of Arizona. It takes place in the world famous landscapes of Sedona, Arizona, and the author illustrates her inspired re-telling of this ancient, fascinating story with colored photos she took on long walks to the very places where the story took place. They are woven in with the words in a tale of disaster and survival, love and loss, impossible obstacles overcome, and incredible challenges met with courage and creativity. After the Flood that destroys the ancient world of the original people of the Sedona area, only one young woman survives. How does she create a life and eventually become the grandmother of a rapidly growing, flourishing tribe? How do heaven and earth, the physical and spiritual, work together to make the impossible possible? Much ancient wisdom that applies to our lives today lives in the answers to these questions. Enjoy the story and the pictures, and make the wisdom your own.
