The story of Jumping Mouse, from the Native American
tradition, is a compelling tale about the journey to acquire inner
trustthe ability to trust the path of our own hearts. We travel
along with Jumping Mouse as he is challenged by the stages and
initiations one must face in order to trust within: paradox,
ambiguity, betrayal, doubt, the leap of faith, the pull of
consensus reality, and the subtleties of discernment.
Juxtaposed with contemporary analogies and gentle teaching,
the story guides us in our quest to learn when to, whether to, and
to trust. As Jumping Mouse journeys to the Sacred Mountain
the heart of his true selfand discovers that which gives his life
meaning and purpose, we feel the reawakening of innocence and
the birth of trust in the moment and in ourselves. And as he
learns to totally trust the promptings of his heart, our spirits take
flight and soar far beyond the pages of the book to the heart of
our own truth.
