POWER TRUTH AND BEAUTY

The allegorical story of Cry of the Hawk For Her Beloved, A Woman's Healing Journey To Higher Consciousness, was birthed from a vision of a golden mountain lion who pursued a magic black elk to find  the wisdom and humility to make the arduous ascent to the lofty height of Sacred Mountain, known by Native Americans as the heart of Turtle Island, or the American continent.

On the book's cover the evocative image of a winged Moon priestess, cradling a boy-child emerging from her moonlighted, ivory-feathered depths conveys a timeless compassion and serene detachment, a powerful visual metaphor of emergence and resurrection as well as pathos and the human pain of loss and grief, the complementary theme of the book.

In her quest to reach Sacred Mountain, Hawk's heroine summons Raven, the ally of her intuition, to delve deeply into her unconscious to retrieve the messages she needs to guide her from one era (the drug-laden but idealistic outlaw era of the sixties) to  the beginning of a new millennium, encompassing 30 years.

The pulsating pink ring around the luminescent Moon conveys the priestess' telepathic thoughts of living through the transitory experiences of suffering and pain to discover the compassion of the universal Feminine Heart emerging in the deep rose-pink dawn of the night sky.

Through the ancient wisdom elder, the unconscious twin of the goddess's psyche, she discovers that the journey of life is about the passing of time, of one generation, one nation, and one state of consciousness to another.

Her journey transmits the prophetic vision of the future - of the priestess restored to Earth, whose compassion and wisdom transcend human suffering and weigh the impermanent, personal drama of our relationship with the things that because we're human we love on Earth against the vastness of eternity.
