Felicia, I don't have a Facebook account either, and that site never used to require one, for downloads! Let me take a look and see if there's some way around that, and in the meantime, an email is on its way. FOTH, Thank you. I do not know why buy you have to log in with a facebook account to download anything from their site. |

"Just debriefing the raven. " Love this statement! That raven is getting to be part of the family. I am wondering if they will run across the other guy that had to go on the run. Supposedly Susan's late husband got him away from the area but sometimes I think he might be back.
Time will tell. Good story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Yes, that raven really did get to be part of the family. He and Einar understood each other.
Glad to have you here on the forum. Thanks for reading!

We are just now starting a blizzard. No travel advised. No visibility. Wind chills of -40 to -50 F Blizzards have always affected me in "homey" ways. Baking, cooking, big jigsaw puzzles, cd playing. I have always been fortunate enough to recognize the blessings/gifts I receive. A warm home, food in the cupboards, running water, family-safe & sound, friends of my heart. I understand Einar's & Liz' gratitude for their little home. I have lived in, what most would deem, almost intolerable situations. No matter how bad you think you got it..others have it worse. Practice an attitude of gratitude.  |

oh, the memories of the births of my children. You never forget the powerful emotions, the pulling of the little ones into your heart and soul. Such a wonderful gift. Native women who follow the red road do things differently but the result is the same.
Thank you for the wonderful pictures you created in my mind and spirit.

I get so wrapped up in the story, I forget to post.
Sometimes, I feel Einar's suffering. I realize his mental illness runs rampant in his spirit. We actually do healings for people with emotional problems/mental health issues. I am not strong with those and have to be open to another healer so my energy can be focused through another.
Other times, I want to tell him he is selfish and self-centered. He is. He likes to think he is doing things for his family but really, his actions are to protect himself. He does not want to face the truths. For him, anything is better than facing the truths, as he sees them.
Quite the book you have created. You have a grasp of the depth of our soul. You also know the relationship of ourselves in the world around us. It is refreshing for me to read.
Thank you for your time and your willingness to share your creation with us.

2medicine woman, thank you for your words. As you said, only in contrast to the times of difficulty and doing without can we truly appreciate the blessings we are given in this life, and Einar and Liz certainly were grateful for good, solid shelter against that storm. I get so wrapped up in the story, I forget to post.

I am not strong with those and have to be open to another healer so my energy can be focused through another. Einar probably would not see things in those terms. There is no "illness," there is just a man getting through the difficulties of this life as well as he can. I suppose he would recognize that he has spiritual struggles at times, as each of us does, but that's it. Other times, I want to tell him he is selfish and self-centered. He is. He likes to think he is doing things for his family but really, his actions are to protect himself. He does not want to face the truths. For him, anything is better than facing the truths, as he sees them. He certainly never means to neglect his family, but there is probably some truth in what you say. Thank you. |

I know that place, where the bottom is where you belong. Your mind and spirit tells you that and you believe it. Where you see no other solutions. Where the pain will finally stop. I know that place all too well.
#893. This post brought me tears. The pain you feel when your road is done. I remember mine clearly. Through The Creator's grace and love for me, I am still here. Here with the firm knowledge that I am loved, wanted, and have more road to travel.
Thank you for the powerfully written description of those very human turmoils that have power to destroy but, also the power to raise you from those depths of utter despair.

One cannot truly know hope and grace until they are experienced from that place of despair, I think. |

ok, book is done. Wow!! So much emotion invested in this story. Looks like more readers than just me getting caught up in it. Love the whole family survival thread. and truth be told, if Einar wasn't as messed up as you presented him..I think the story wouldn't have been so enthralling.
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful story. Am looking forward to the next one also.
Be well Chris.

I have been reading this saga for a long long time, can't stop! Anyway, I am at p89 and am confused. I thought the ravine took the debrief papers and they never were able to find them again. Or did I miss something along the way?
