The Lovers novel excerpt

White Eagle, the sage healer in my novel, teaches Nadine, our main character, how to heal her past.  He teaches her how to forgive, love and energize herself on the sacred Indian land of Sedona.

Here is an excerpt from the novel, The Lovers:

Nadine looked around as White Eagle parked the jeep.  Not a leaf stirred on the trees and bushes.  As they climbed the hill towards their destination, Nadine was aware of her every step on the red earth.  Her sensitivity seemed heightened here—an awareness came to her in the silence.

“These are ancient burial grounds,” explained White Eagle.  This journey opens your third eye, where there is no time boundary.  You can slip into the past, see your karmic destiny.  You can draw strength from the sacred land."

Nadine wasn’t sure what White Eagle meant but was eager to find out.  At last her life seemed to be moving in the right direction.

“Sedona has a long history," explained White Eagle. "Archeologists have proven that Sedona was discovered centuries before Columbus.  Sedona and the Verde Valley have plentiful ruins and petroglyphs. The Anasazi—Navajo word meaning ancient ones—fished in Oak Creek waters, farmed the land and hunted in the woods.  In prehistoric times Sedona was a ceremonial meeting area and a major crossroads for trading routes from the north and from South America. They came hunting for gold. There are signs of ancient cultures in the woods and canyons, and just imagine, Nadine, you are walking on the same pathways." 

White Eagle moved closer to Nadine. "The mysteries of life are revealed if you become still and quiet inside, and listen to the messages...the messages of the wind, the earth, the sun and the moon.”
