During today’s daily walk, I listened to an interesting Audiobook that I’d like to share with you.

Keep Going: The Art of Perseverence by Joseph M. Marshall III.

The book detailed a story of a young boy and his grandfather from the perspective of a Lakota native american.

The book emphasizes the duality of life and how we would not appreciate good without bad, joy without sorrow, friendship without loneliness, etc.

I found it to be a very relaxing thing to listen to while I was taking a 3 hour walk on a beautiful Arizona afternoon.

There was much wisdom contained in the book and it was conveyed in a wise, calm manner.

While listening, I couldn’t help but appreciate the wise perspective of the Lakota grandfather, “Old Hawk” who was sharing wisdom about life with his grandson.

The reason I appreciated it so much is that one of the things I am striving for is to be calmer and more at peace as I proceed through life.  While the grandfather had obviously lived a hard life, it was also one filled with great calm, peace and joy.  Those are things I strive for daily.

I also loved the sharing of wisdom from the older generation to the younger generation.  That topic ties in very nicely with the book I am currently writing, so it was definitely worthy of my time spent listening.
