Synopsis: This is a portrait of a child prodigy; a prodigy not of the intellect but of the heart.
Some are born into a talent for witnessing their Dreams, for being Awake inside their own Dreams. Some kids today are born as shamans, but shamans without a tradition, tribal Dreamers without a tribe, natural Animists in an age blind to the effulgence of life.
This is the contemporary story of a 10-year old girl living in the Catskill Mountains who has a talent for Dreaming. This is a story about A Story in which our young Dreamer draw her more worldly friend closer to the Inner world through the echoes of ritual, and into the old religion of Dreaming.

 

(I have been approaching "Knowledge" for some thirty odd years now - as a coyote does a huge stone house - I don't belong but it is the closest food I could find - leftovers from another's feast. If I had a reason, to cover for the inner-necessity to tell this story - it would be to present a possible world where such kids are at home - a world where awareness does not belong to Knowledge, and flourishes on heart alone.)
