I feel extremely lucky to have received a signed
hardcover boxset of Robert [BawB] Chomany’s “Raven Feathers” in connection with
an internet giveaway. The following is my honest opinion for this series of
books.
This is the first time I’ve done a review for an entire
series of books at the same time.
Growing up during the 1960’s and 1970’s one of the big
things people were getting involved with TM or Transcendental Meditation which
basically had encouraged
a restful state of mind beyond thinking which is what this series of books
reminds me of.
This feeling is echoed on the
author’s blog site http://www.bawbasravenfeathers.com where he writes about himself:
“One thing led to another and I
eventually ambled off into the mountains, where I was introduced to myself on a
spiritual level, and my spirit guide the Raven helped me find balance, we spent
many a day chatting about life, living and being, he shared with me his feathers
of life, I share them now with you.”
While it’s nice to have the author
share we know what brought him to write this series of books, to better
understand them better we need to look at the significance of the author’s
decision to use the raven as part of the title for these books.
Robert Chomany aka “BawBa” writes he
was born and lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This area of Canada is the home
for the Inuit Eskimo peoples for which the raven plays a very important part of
their culture. For them the raven is their culture hero. He is a benevolent and
revered transformer figure who, just like the intent of these books, helps the
people and shapes their world for them.
Mr. Chomany wrote the following
description on the jacket flap of each hardcover book I received:
“Bawba’s Raven Feathers” is pure and
simple. It kick starts moments pf self-reflection and inner peace by drawing on
nostalgia and pushing the reader to live in the present and dream of tomorrow.
Alternating brief chapters of prose with perfectly rhymic rhymes, and to write
down your thoughts and inspiring ideas, this book holds appeal for the masses.”
[I used plain sheets of papers to
accomplish this.]
Each volume of this series of books
focuses in on different aspects of our daily lives.
VOLUME 1 = The Moment, Solitude,
Simplicity, Serenity, Beauty, Time.
VOLUME 2 = Challenges, Perception,
Choice, Smile, Opportunity, Being You.
VOLUME 3 = Strength, Belief, Energy,
Positivity, Balance, Renewal.
VOLUME 4 = Confidence, Doubt,
Success, Patience, Rest, Gratitude.
VOLUME 5 = Let Go, Journey, Be
Present, Learn, Dream, Change.
Regardless of which volume you
choose I believe you’ll find it a rewarding, self-reflecting experience, much
in the same manner I have; which is why I’m giving all of these five books 5
STARS.
