Just sharing with you that I've written a lovely children's story (for children of any age). I wrote it awhile back, and have recently pulled it out of my computer. I may do some illustrations for it. Haven't decided if I'll seek a regular publisher or publish it on my own somehow. It is full of spiritual insights and guidance, perfect for children who are so inundated with the thoughts and beliefs of the ordinary world.
This is a story about a zebra named Wind who dares to leave her tribe, the Zolites, and venture into the Dark Jungle, in search of adventure. She is tired of living by The list of Warnings, Rules, Beliefs, and Regulations Regarding Zolite Behavior that all Zolites must obey. She wants to find out for herself what is true. On her journey, she is attacked by a lion, saved by a Unicorn named Shalimar, and begins to learn about traveling the path that Unicorns travel, which is the way of the Heart. She thinks she can travel it with her feet, because she is the fastest zebra in Africa, but soon learns that this path cannot be traveled in her ordinary way.
