Only a Hut in the Mountains - Paperback

by Barry James Brailsford Mbe (Author)

The old one is a Keeper of the Sacred Lore. Those who come to his mountain hut have already traveled difficult trails. Two arrive at dusk but only one is expected. The Trail Walkers sent the young woman but the man is a mystery, only meeting her in the last hour of the trail. In the days that follow old wisdom releases truths long hidden in the past. Exploring their excitement they discover if they are born of the Fire People or Stone People, Tree People or Water People, Bird People or Star Walkers, Whale People or Dolphin People or other Peoples. They learn to align their lives with the rhythms of the Moon, step into the power of Place and begin the hardest journey of all. Yes, to know the magic of head, heart and spirit walking as one. All this against a backdrop of cutting edge science where Time and Space embrace. Where Quantum Mechanics and String Theory grapple with the Nothingness to create the Universe, and Life. 'If we lose our story we lose our dream, ' the old one says, 'and if we lose our dream the spirit dies. Find hope in the circle of our fire. Walk the truth of your life. Be free to be.'
