Drawing on the immense wisdom of the Native American Lakota tribe, Teacher, historian, Lakota craftsman and writer, Joseph M. Marshall III is a master storyteller; calming, insightful and inspirational.
Appreciation of life can be difficult through challenging times, our fears can override reality and we can feel lost and helpless - perseverance calls for inner strength, finding the courage to rediscover our love of life and finding the will to "Keep going".
Here is a brief quote that gives you an immediate feel for where this wonderful wisdom is coming from "Within you is the will to win - as well as the willingness to lose"
"Keep going" offers timeless wisdom brought to us through inspiring stories that touch the heart and give us hope and faith in our lives. Rather than being trapped in our past stories we can take responsibility and create the path ahead, leaving regret behind and accepting our lives for what they are instead of constantly wishing for something different. Losing despite our best efforts gives us strength - it teaches us the "art of perseverance"
I highly recommend this title, it will give you courage and help you find inner peace.

Format:Hardcover
In this parable, a young man grieving over the death of his father turns to his grandfather, Old Hawk, for answers. Old Hawk attempts to answer his grandson's questions regarding life's hardships and challenges through stories culled from the Lakota tradition and his own rich experiences. The book unfolds in his voice as he explains that, without grief and sadness, you cannot truly embrace joy - that is the natural give and take of life. Ultimately, your perseverance and will - the fortitude to take one more step when that step feels overwhelming - will get you through. This simple, spiritual text by Native American Joseph M. Marshall III is rhythmic and soothing in its prose, and inspiring in its content. It is a balm and a comfort. We suggest it to anyone seeking answers to life's big questions and the wherewithal to "keep going."
