the ⨁ FLOWERBORN

the Story of Your Birth

As is the case for many wisdom cultures, not just Native American ones, the continuation of traditional belief systems and ways of life has relied primarily on storytelling. Through storytelling, wisdom cultures are able to pass down vital information from generation to generation.  Listeners are able to connect with their own ancestors and learn how to continue important rituals and traditions in order to maintain the most valuable and important ways of life.  Storytelling can also place the body and mind of the listener into a higher spiritual state or transmit spiritual teachings in a way no other vehicle or method can.   The FLOWERBORN is a modern story imbued with just this purpose.  The FLOWERBORN is a novel, in the tradition of storytelling as a way to impart traditional wisdom through entertaining the reader.

"Red Lion Road," was written the day after I returned home from a two-week solitary meditation retreat.  The song is about events leading up to the retreat, during and after.  "Red Lion Road," stands for my own personal connection to the "Red Road" of the Oglala Sioux Nation.  And the "Lion" refers to my love and friendship with my own teacher, Reginald A. Ray, and his teacher, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. A deep appreciation for their incredible voice and vision to successfully transmit the Tibetan teachings to the West.  Also, the book, “The Buddha's Lions," by James B. Robinson, inspired the title.  The Buddha’s Lions is a book about the lives of the 84 mahassiddha's  in India and Tibet, who attained realization through the practice of meditation and inner yoga.  I was lucky enough to find one of the last living teachers or lineage holders of this incredible, ordinary and magical tradition of Crazy Wisdom.
