These short stories are about the journey called life. There are Native American stories, Asian stories, Southern stories, and a collection of others that teach life's lessons.
I have had an interesting journey thus far, growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, and joining the Marines at seventeen. I served three tours in Vietnam and was at the Mayaguez recapture of the ship and crew. I currently live on the Big Island of Hawaii in Kurtistown.
I collected these stories that are viewed through the eyes of different cultures on my journeys throughout the world while in the Marines and as a civilian.
Many of the Native American stories were passed down from generation to generation by my mother, an Iroquois Indian. My father was multi-cultural, and as we would say in Hawaii, a poi dog culture.
The Asia stories came from my travels in Asia, while my Southern upbringing is the basis of other tales. Some are meant to guide and direct our actions on our journey through life, while others attempt to explain the meaning of life and the hereafter.
