Walking Spirit in a Native Way

  Book: Walking Spirit in a Native Way  Author: James B. Beard My Thoughts: From the opening dedication to the final reflections, Beard constructs a narrative rich with reverence—for the Elders who taught him, for the land, and for the unseen forces that shaped his transformation.  The structure of the book is simple: Beard moves between intimate memories and the teachings he absorbs over the years. But underneath that simplicity is a meaningful exploration of belonging. I was deeply moved by the vulnerability he brings to discussing identity. Beard doesn’t claim ownership of traditions not originally his; instead, his story is one of being shaped, humbled, and guided by Indigenous communities through years of service and learning. In a time when cultural storytelling can be mishandled or sensationalized, this book stands out for its reverence and restraint. The memoir also engages readers who enjoy contemplative pacing. This book is a long walk beside the author as he le...

Awakening the Mystic

  Book: Awakening the Mystic  Author: Rob Dorgan  Review: Rob Dorgan’s Awakening the Mystic is a radiant fusion of fiction, memoir, and spiritual teaching. The novel follows Ren, a seeker whose yearning for inner peace leads him from Catholic traditions to yoga, astrology, and ultimately a transcendent love with his partner, Sean. The story is both personal and universal—inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys of identity, loss, and healing. What stands out most is how Dorgan uses mystical experiences—dreams of saints, visions of silver threads, encounters with archetypal feminine energies—to illustrate the profound truth that love is the essence of human connection. The narrative gently educates without preaching, weaving in yoga philosophy, Patanjali’s Sutras, and the healing power of mudras and mantras. It reads like a soul-guide disguised as a novel. For anyone seeking a book that nourishes both heart and spirit, Awakening the Mystic offers not only an engag...
