Tsalagi Soul

The Firekeeper did not always know he was a firekeeper...

Sure, he knew it at birth and in his early childhood, like all children who remember the special time in the presence of the Great Mystery before their journey through the birth canal. Firekeeper knew as a boy the most important things. But that knowing went unnoticed, unheard during 22 years of active addiction...
