The second section offers yarns from the Lakota that relate the dire consequences in store for those who choose to live a life of self-centered pursuit. In all of them, we're reminded that only a life lived in integrity and service is a life worth living.
In these times of social and spiritual decline, perhaps the stories contained within this book can help all of us find our way back to a life of spirit and right relationship.
