Past, Present, Future

This Past, Present, Future collection contains stories, personal essays and futuristic writings. They illuminate facets of humanity that are both wholesome and deadly. There is a subtle tapestry from Indigenous Wisdom throughout the three phases that must apply to our damaged planet if homo-sapiens is to have a home.
PAST dwells on the significance of indigenous history and beliefs, a spirituality that crosses centuries to realize redemption and connection. These stories stand in contrast to the ethnocentric illusions of the wider society where violence, fear and betrayal are rampant. PRESENT includes flash fictions to highlight the destructive illusions and the gentle memories of modern society.
The remaining chapters seek to mentor and inspire children to save the world. "Respecting Indigenous Wisdom" provides a pause through poetry to outline a different foundation for humanity. FUTURE is not kind to homo-sapiens and their habitation of Mother Earth. Scientists scramble to provide an exit from the Earth, seeding far away planets. A single person remains in the High Arctic''s last outpost while pioneers who occupy a new planet must fight to prevent terrorists from taking it over. Very little has changed.

Humanity owes an apology to the children of the world.
