Dear Readers,
All, as you know, I announced a departure of sorts recently as I attend to family and self. I believed in Tribal as more than a story. It is for me, a magnum opus, the end of an era of subtle preaching of my vision of the future through the Dragon Tales, Revenant, other short stories – and now Tribal.
I decided to let my dearest Dragon Sister, Apple Rae, continue the story on her blog, after all, this story is about her and her future as she becomes the Empress and Matriarch of her Tribe in the North Philippine islands where rugged mountains and a verdant paradise has hosted her ancestors for longer than the ancient Greeks, before the Romans, before the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia.
We share common ancestors from Spain and also an unbelievable story of two friends, One my great great uncle and his friend on their business venture in the newly opened islands in the early 1800’s. They prospered and took local wives and raised a family until the Japanese came in the early 40’s and rooted out many of the western people and infrastructure. My family believed all was lost until a few years ago when Apple and I reconnected.
I have told her story and my family story as well as my own in poetry, art, and writing over the last seven years. A thick layer of fiction and a world created in the imagination allowed the subtle flow of my personal belief in the beauty of family over generations and the generational teaching of the children to grow in knowledge and self and to transform their experiential life into wisdom to guide their children, many yet unborn.
If you would like to follow Tribal to its conclusion in future chapters, please follow Apple Rae and enjoy, not only Tribal, but her gifted stories, poetry, and videos full of the gift of a better world built on a better person fully knowledgeable of self and our connections to each other across the globe.

All the best,
