In 1995 I decided to withdraw from the rat race and do what I really wanted to, travel and write. So I gave most of my earthly possessions away and hit the road. About a year later I moved into “Angel”, a 1977 GMC camper van. On the road I have had many wonderful experiences; 1st nation medicine wheels and sweat lodges, mountain tops and flower filled alpine meadows. I have crossed paths with many beautiful souls. In 1997 I met two very beautiful ladies. Natalie, whom I fell in love with instantly and Anne Hughes who was to become one of the greatest influences of my journey. Anne embodies the message of St Francis. During a meeting with Anne I mentioned that I was somewhat tired of travelling alone and asked what were the possibilities of journeying with Natalie. She said that if my soul compliment chose to manifest at this time, we would. If not I must go on. Portions of Spirit Quest were written before that fateful meeting, but most relate to my journey from that moment. As much as I will always desire this, Natalie and I are not currently together. She is also on a very beautiful journey of self discovery and empowerment. But I do believe in my heart of hearts, that one day it is our destiny to serve our God and humanity together. Until then I can only love and support her every moment of every day and on my journey strive to be the best I can be. |
