literary instincts and a strong desire to discern and articulate the wisdom that lives within each of us when we nurture a deeper awareness in searching for the organic wisdom of place and people i returned to my magnetic prairie roots in central south dakota prairie wisdom a life wisdom in many respects is the foundation for a powerful universal story drawing wisdom from our surroundings

to come home to your self shirley showalter the 15th anniversary edition of where the heart resides 1999 where the heart resides timeless wisdom of the american prairie always returning 15th anniversary edition in 2014 in the late 90s i decided to study a familiar landscape one that represented a mesmerizing canvas comprised of challenge adventure and yes hardship from a spiritual perspective the open space of sky and land seem to invite contemplation whitman and thoreau told us these things many years ago so it was especially intriguing to revisit ideas and concepts that are indeed timeless my spiritual roots were forged by a people a place that has something of importance for everyone it s merely a matter of seeing beyond the obvious surface impressions superficial understanding are limited and limiting i ve long been a student of society and culture definitely while studying sociology in graduate school but also in terms of being curious observant and attentive group functioning collective mindsets and so on are extremely influential but too often we fail to see the bigger picture sociology in graduate school but also in terms of being curious observant and attentive group functioning collective mindsets and so on are extremely influential but too often we fail to see the bigger picture an ever present force the prairie reminds and focuses us it tells its story each day it acts as a constant companion one experienced in matters of the heart it effectively bridges the gap between past and present and future fusing them into a splendid whole a quilt
