Hi, Everyone :
Nancy has graciously allowed me to slip in through the back door of her cyber domain to talk a bit about my Native American Lord of the Rings, THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS.
THE MELD OF THE WORLD’S MYTHOLOGIES –
The Australian aboriginal aspect of the Dreaming flows into my novel, shaping the universal Great Myth of Hibbs’ adventures. Why universal? Which of us does not dream?
Hibbs’ adventures in the Dreaming, the creation time, interconnects all the world’s myths, turning the landscape of the entire world into a living body. The Lakota see the world as one large web of life, each strand vibrating to the beating of the heart next to it.
THE MYTH OF THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS
Myths are not fixed truths.
Rather they are ever-winding, ever-shifting paths to misty glimpses of possible answers to questions. And each wanderer down those paths asks different questions, so their eyes and hearts whisper different answers.
Sometimes those eyes are at odds with the hearts. And considering the two shadows we share with Hibbs, should not this be so?
Thank you for letting me draw back the curtain a bit for you to peek into the myths which live in THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS.

Thank you for letting me share your lovely blog for these two days, Nancy. I hope I've been a pleasant guest.
Thank you, everyone, who's commented and found something interesting in these ramblings of mine.
Have a great end of week, all, Roland
Awh I am so intrigued by A Bear with Two Shadows. :O)
Some deep thoughts, Roland.
Roland- what a great way to describe a myth!
Nancy- thanks for hosting Roland for us!
It's my pleasure to host Roland. He is a wonderful guest. And his book sounds amazing. I hope you all will pick it up and read it.
I'm intrigued as well Madeleine.
Roland definitely is a deep thinker, Alex.
I agree, Summer.
Thanks everyone for dropping in and leaving a comment.

Roland: I'm very intrigued and it sounds like an amazing book. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy. :)
Nancy: Thank you so much for hosting Roland. It's been a treat. :)
Thanks for being interested in THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS. Hibbs would be interested in you, too. He's always curious, that one!
Alex : Those are some of the things you think about when you drive the lonely, rural roads under the listening stars.
Summer : Thanks for the kind words. Myth is a part of our lives, from our NIKE tennis shoes to our Achilles Heel! We just have become blind to the magic.
Nutschell : Thanks for the Twitter shout-out. Like Nancy says, be sure to send me the link.
Jeffery : I hope you enjoy THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for commenting. And Nancy, thanks for being such a gracious, kind hostess. Roland

Hi, Nancy, Hi, Roland....
You know I can't get enough insight on THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS.
I feel connected to it. I wonder why?
I've always loved mythology and weaving in other ways is incredibly intriguing to me.
Have a great weekend, Nancy and Roland.
