Holocaust-whole burned, great destruction of life; America's past before this word was told. Forgiveness-to forget or to let pass; to move on, to learn. This is what I am trying to tell. TurtleI made a garden in the shape of a turtle. I go there to pray for you and for me. I pray for things I would like to see. I pray in the circle standing tall in headdress and beads. To show the young ones to take up the lead. Knowing the honor left by our past,Now as five nations they can make a new path. I pray in my circle full of flowers you see. I pray in the circle for both you and meRed HawkMuscogee Warrior Eat honey, my sons and daughters for it is good;honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul;if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24-13;14

With hundreds of books on the market today urging readers to develop mindfulness, pointing to the condition of "awakening" that most religious/philosophical traditions aim toward, this new addition by Red Hawk stands head and shoulders above the crowd. It offers detailed practical guidelines that allow one to know with certainty-not from imagination, theory, thought, or lying-when one is Present and Awake; it details the objective feedback mechanisms available to everyone for attaining this certainty: Am I awake now? How do I know? Sincere readers will find that help in answering these two questions is invaluable and life-changing. Written from the perspective of a practitioner of more than thirty years-one who has studied the significant work of his predecessors, received instruction from two spiritual masters (Osho Rajneesh and Mister Lee Lozowick), and trained rigorously within daily life. This book is the first detailed examination of the Practice-of-Presence (called "self remembering" in the Gurdjieff tradition). The author's aim is to give general guidelines in this practice, discuss its implications, and then offer specific instruction. Self Remembering: The Path to Non-Judgmental Love is meant to be a companion piece, volume ii, to the author's previous book Self Observation: The Awakening of Conscience, which is fast becoming a classic. Taken together, they present the most detailed examination of the practice available in English. He clearly points out that self remembering is only one half of a foundational spiritual practice called "self observation/self remembering." Where other authors/teachers have gone wrong in the past is to take only one half of this practice and consider it the whole, entire unto itself. Mister Gurdjieff's student, A.R. Orage (1873-1934), made this mistake with self observation; contemporary teacher Robert Burton made a similar error with his book, also titled Self Remembering. While P.D. Ouspensky speaks of the practice of self remembering in his seminal book In Search of the Miraculous, and Rodney Collin in The Theory of Celestial Influence, there has not been a book-length study on self remembering that examines the practice from the many angles that Red Hawk's does. His chapters cover such diverse yet integrated topics as The Removal of Self Importance; Kaya Sadhana or the wisdom of the body; and Separation Grief, i.e., addressing the terror of our current situation without denial or dramatics.

A savoury new collection nominated for the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in Literature. An impressive sequel to his previous work which was also nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. A reviewer once described Red Hawk's poetry as "having that rarest of all virtues: a sense of civilization." Another said that his "poems are so exquisite, they seem almost to have been translated from an alien tongue." Nowhere is that talent more on display than here, in his third book of poems.
