INTRODUCTION
Angels at my Bedside
They float in on the near darkness
and pale blue moon shine
They come when you most need them
but least expect them
Their touch is only the weight of a feather
but it changes everything
Their beings are luminous
like the soft glow of a burning out candle
Their numbers are legion
They have been on duty since the dawn of time
and they shall stay after the end of days
They are the Elohim, the divine Feminine
They watch over the cribs of Infants
They visit us
CHAPTER ONE
The Kinfolk
What school child hasn’t stared up into the star-filled sky and wondered to himself, Is this where I came from?
Or what kid hasn’t asked his parents Mom, Dad, who did I come from?
Meaning, of course, who were my people? Where did they come from, those ancestors of long ago? If you were a curious or precocious kid like myself, you could never get enough of those family stories. They are pure gold to me now, as I turn my memories into books.
My mother’s people were great storytellers and dream Keepers, cordoned off as they were in a small Appalachian valley, shut in by the surrounding mountains. Life was simple there. Some of the mountain folk never wandered further afield more than fifty miles in their entire lifetimes.
But something else was afoot! My people were what their English forebearers deemed Fey. They had a Sight
as their neighbors would say.
My own grandma, Tina Bell, born blind in one eye with a large Port-wine birthmark covering part of one cheek, was especially gifted! She saw more with one eye than most folks will ever see with two. She saw into people, and through their lies and foibles and phoniness.
The end of the 18th century found Grandpa Burt cutting virgin forests along the New River, so that the new badly needed roads could be opened up.
Meanwhile Tina Bell was raising their brood of six kids, keeping chickens and a milk-cow, besides keeping up her vegetable gardens. The women in my family were said to be cunning, meaning clever, resourceful and independent. Tina Bell slept with a gun under her pillow when Burt Smith was away at his logging camp, but she had a softer, endearing side that I remember oh, so well. It seemed like yesterday when she would take my little brother on her knee and sing a few verses of can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy
. Her time with me was even more precious. She would walk me through her sun-filled flower garden singing another ditty. Good morning Mary Sunshine, why did you wake so soon? You chased away the little stars and shined away the moon.
Gold fish, Koi, would be splashing in the water-lily pond as we circle through the flower beds. Soon her song would shift to Mary, Mary quite contrary—how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row.
These all-too brief years would form the beginning of my life-long love affair with the nature world.
As with so many other families, the great depression would force my parents to move north to the flatlands and the harsh realities of rural farm-life. My other grandmother had been a pretty Welsh girl who had married a German farmer. I mention this because it leads to an uncanny family secret: Each of my grandfathers had been born to Native American mothers. Learning of this coincidence from my parents at a young age, somehow gave me a deeper sense of belonging to the Earth. It helped me explain a small piece of the old who am I /where did I come from
question, that most of us will eventually wrestle with; something past claiming our DNA or our genetics. There wasn’t much Tom-Foolery
on the farm. Mornings, very early—about 4:30 AM, found grandpa and my dad trudging off to the barn to do chores. Meanwhile the women-folk, grandma and my mom would be laying out the first of the three bodacious spreads of the day.
Typically, breakfast would consist of eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, plum preserves and potatoes fried in lard. It seemed to this five year old that as one meal was over, the next one was being prepared on the antique wood burning stove.
My Welsh grandma was a diminutive and energetic woman; the first to rise in the morning and the last to come to bed at night. I never remember seeing her smile, but I do remember her daily prayers to "Save
