Recommendation

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. getAbstract suggests it to anyone seeking answers to life’s big questions and the wherewithal to “keep going.”

Take-Aways

  • Without darkness, you could not enjoy the light. Without death, you would not embrace life. The key is to find the balance.
  • Bad times are a gift; they teach you how to survive and become stronger.
  • Face your doubts and uncertainties, instead of living a life of avoidance and fear.
