That moment when we realize we are awake and dreaming
simultaneously, can be one of the greatest pleasures taken for granted
in what we believe is our life but what nature calls our vision.
What I thought would be a quick reading and a few comments have turned
into several hours of wandering around "Coyote Vision" slightly agog at
the complex and fantastical building of a story that is a treatise,
allegory, and superb fable, mixed with a visionary approach to a
reasonable, logical and inspired philosophy.
As a story about a guy who talks with animals and spirits and mermaids,
while downing generous portions of natural wonders, it is fun and
amusing. As a multi-layered treatise on the human condition, the book is
serious to the point of being frightening. As an allegorical fable that
offers a solution to the arrogance so readily on display in our
fractured world, the book deserves much thought, rereading, and even
ingestion or inhalation of something herbal to slow down the heart as it
absorbs the story. And as a visionary story, it is solidly built on
wonderful characters living in a world that is captivating and always
interesting.
I've read dave's Coyote work for a while now. This opus brings all the
charm and magic and intelligence of that body of work to one place. I'm
truly impressed. - James Bourey
