In the pristine environment of the northern boreal forest, Tulugaq Kagagi muses over some letters. Written in the vernacular of his grandfather, he recalls his life experience and the spiritual teachings these occasions have brought him: transforming his life and his worldview. Through the writing of one man and the interior thoughts of another, we too survive wrenching pain and revitalizing delight and tranquility. From loss of life to life-giving ecstasy, we follow the life journeys of two men, segregated by decades and culture, as they find so this means and rest because of their lives. Following the drownings of his parents in 1928, a white child is orphaned in the Canadian north. Tulugaq Kagagi is lovingly accepted in to the home of any childless Ojibwa/Inuit few, Peepeelee and James. In his teens, he leaves their home to keep schooling at a seminary in the south. Another 30 years of his life are put in in traditional religious vocation. During this time, the enfolding of nature - its tranquility and presence - slowly fades from his life. In midlife, upon his adoptive father's loss of life, he profits to the cabin of his childhood and discovers some letters written by his great-grandfather, Minominike. His religious education and worldview is challenged by the unconditional love and fact portrayed in these letters. As he reads the words of the old man's life, his heart returns to a period of embrace and spiritual oneness that he hasn't known in generations. Feeling the wind of the nature and sensing the interior whisper of any still-small voice, so this means and love are reawakened in his heart. We travel with him on the course of revelation, as he opens his heart to the unity and benevolence surrounding us all. This is a book that pierces the central of humanity's desiring inner tranquility and opens the easy joy to be to all of us. The letters of Minominike bring insight and encourage us to are in the truth of transcendent love.
