One day one of the older children in the village asked Uncle, "Why did you write these stories down?" Uncle was quiet for a moment, then said, "Everything, every decision you make, every action you take, has a purpose. You just have to keep looking for it."
The purpose of this book is to preserve, poke, and help us ponder our own decisions and actions.
What is the purpose of my life? Do I have a soul? What is forgiveness? We ask these questions of ourselves all life long, but as we grow older our lives change and we have new content and new context for our answers.
From the author of The Pumpkin Man comes a book for young and old alike, imparting wisdom from one generation to another.
Lin Butler is a father and grandfather who wanted his children and grandchildren to know some of his thoughts and reflections on the world we share. If other readers reflect on and share these words with their children, it is time well spent for all of us.
Lin has been a community organizer, social worker, counselor, instructor, manager, and chaplain over the years. He has learned to appreciate deep listening (to both the words of others and the sounds of nature), his Brethren/Quaker heritage, and the telling of a good story.
Leigh Partington has been drawing and painting all her life. She has played and created in her 3D studio, Playin' in the Mud, for the last thirty years. Leigh also teaches workshops and classes for children, young adults, and persons with special needs, because she believes in the importance of people of all ages and their ability to express themselves visually. Everyone has an artist in them, and imagination is their only limit.
