WHERE EAGLES SOAR If pictures don't show, PLEASE right click your mouse and when the menu comes up click on SHOW PICTURE Thank You
This picture is representative of the high mountain country around Flagstaff and Sedona Arizona. This is the country I wrote about in my book, "Where Eagles Soar." This is truly one of the Great Spirits high energy places. It is neither our coming into this world nor our leaving that is important. Rather it is what we do while we are here. As you decide to start a search for new and higher truths you will be starting on a quest for a closer bond with the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit will become a teacher in your mind to inspire you to seek for a better understanding of the real values of life and the value of developing impeccable ethics to live your life by. When the student is ready the teacher will appear, and when a truth seeker comes into contact with a truth giver great things can and do happen. The Great Spirit will indwell your mind to whisper in your soul of real values and higher concepts and he will ever lead you on a path of truth, beauty, and goodness. You need not search any further than your own higher mind to find the Great Spirit. Therefore if you would desire to talk to the Great Spirit simply find a quiet spot in natural surroundings to get quiet and open your heart and mind to accept his presence. As you walk with stealth along the trails into the depths of the darkest forest you must use all your skills to avoid the dangers therein. Yet to avoid the real dangers in life you must traverse the depths of your own mind and heart. To become an impeccable warrior is to rise to the highest status attainable for a mere human as you travel the path of life in the search for perfection. An impeccable warrior can hear the voice of the Great Spirit as he whispers softly in his mind to direct his actions and conduct his footsteps on the path of life. |
ABOUT THE AUTHOR "Otis Ritch"
  1st of an 8 book series--7 are completed and I am writing on the 8th one now.
I am a wild Choctaw Indian from the Mudlark bottoms in Stigler Oklahoma. As a child I grew up in the desert Southwest, in and around Casa Grande Arizona. I spent many happy hours roaming the desert and mountains learning about the animal and plant life there and why there are sea shells on the tops of the mountains. The desert can be a harsh teacher where death can come quickly to those not prepared for the constant dangers that exist. There are rattlesnakes and gila monsters as well as coyotes, wolves, skunks, wild hogs, cougars, scorpions, and centipedes. The desert is also a beautiful place that is full of life and adventure. In the solitude one can take the time to meditate and contemplate on life and the reasons thereof. One can find the Great Spirit and seek guidance on ones life path in the desert. I learned much from the desert and also from the Indians of the desert country. As an adult I have traveled over half the United States. I have worked as a field hand, ginned cotton, worked cattle, worked on a core recovery drill rig, fry cook, service station attendant, pipe line construction, welded bridges, welding shop foreman, plowed land, irrigated crops, foreman on two farms, played music at honkytonks, sold everything from grand pianos to grandfather clocks, taught meditation classes, owned stores, etcetera. I am also a master boot maker and leather artist. I was born in 1942 and have been working since I was twelve years old and making my own way in the world since I was sixteen. I am self-educated and I like to meditate and spend time in natural surroundings. One can gain much soul growth by seeking out a quiet place to commune with the Great Spirit. I have made a lifetime study of people, trying to learn what motivates them as they live out the drama of life. My two favorite pastimes are fishing and golfing -- both of which I haven't had time for in ages. With fishing and golfing as hobbies you might guess how I learned to tell stories. One thing to keep in mind as you read my stories is that some of the things I write about may seem to be so fantastic that it must be pure fantasy -- yet sometimes the truth is more fantastic than fiction. I have been up the creek and over the mountain. I have been to a goat roping and a county fair and I have even been to town and seen an elephant. I am currently living in Texas -- you know, that little suburb of Oklahoma just South of the Red River. Texas is the original home of tall tales and long winded people so I feel right at home here.
