--- Quote ---Now, Celtic-Indian Taoist communities were hard to find in the 1950s when I was growing up. So we became part of a struggling Unitarian community, a safe non-dualistic space where we hyphenated kids could work out our own answers about what and who and where God was—and argue about politics of course. There were, sadly, no books on Native American philosophy in those days, so my mother told me stories that she would make up as she went along, stories with Mi'kmaq words in them (such as Pipsissewa) and Red Road teachings. When I got older she read to me at night from the Tao Te Ching. Close enough, I guess. [1] For years I thought the Tao Te Ching was written by Loud Sioux, as in “Chief Loud Sioux.” What did I know?
My father became Treasurer of the church and helped to build the Paint Branch Unitarian church where I attended services, and I became part of a tribe called LRY. I came to New York City to seek my fortune. I didn't really start exploring my Mi'kmaq (Indian) roots again until 1989. Meanwhile I got interested in world religions. Now I am an interfaith Minister.
