Solo Passage: 13
Quests, 13 Questions by
Glenda Goodrich is a wonderful book that is filled with traditional and
spiritual wisdom. The author introduces readers not only to the wilderness
quest, also known as the vision quest, which “encourages an awakening of one’s indigenous wisdom, personal vision, and purpose on Earth.” It is the quest
to unearth the secrets of the earth, a confrontation with nature that teaches,
heals, and guides the soul. In this wonderfully crafted book, Glenda Goodrich
narrates her 13 spiritual odysseys and her search for healing and meaning in the
wilderness. The author undergoes a journey that will transform her as she walks
alone into the womb of the Earth, guided by thirteen questions. She discovers
healing, wisdom, purpose, forgiveness, freedom, and many more spiritual gifts.
Solo Passage is to be read from the heart. It is filled
with light and insight. From the opening pages, readers are introduced to the
tradition of storytelling, an ancient practice through which life lessons and
wisdom are passed from one generation to another. The story of the woman who
went into the wilderness to find a new name is pregnant with meaning and it is
a wonderful allegory that readers can use to understand some of the big
questions in life. Glenda Goodrich writes with moving clarity and invites
readers to interact with nature as they follow her thirteen quests. It will be
interesting to notice that the author's courageous quests into the wilderness
are symbolic of the journey within; the more she searches through the austerity
of the wilderness, the closer she gets to the oasis of her inner life. This
book is poignant, tender, and filled with spiritual currents that will carry readers
deeper into the very center of their own lives. The prose itself is enticing, a
spell that is hard to shake off. You will be entertained and enlightened by
this book.
