Reading Notes Part B: Marriage Tales

This is an interesting set of stories. In many of them, the human turns into an animal or vice versa. I know that the Native American tribes' spirituality aligns closely with animals. I am Osage.

I would not judge the movie by its name. It is actually roman...

Dude was an open-minded individual, who believed that anything was possible, and Jesus could not stretch his imagination that far. Jesus said, "There is no way that your bowling ball can fall through the sky and into that lava mountain or whatever you call it." Dude retorted, "It's a volcano, bro, and I can make it." Dude and Jesus lived among the clouds and this world is all they have known because for as long as they can remember, the sky people have been scared of the volcano land down below. Dude was different and he believed in magic and bowling. He thought that his bowling ball had magic powers.
