Burdha the Bard

Soaring Years

By: Rob Nanook Natiuk,Jonathan Natiuk

Between youth and old age stretch the "Soaring Years."For Burdha those were the years of increasing wisdom and strength. He travels around the North American continent. He gains perspective on life from his journeys to California, Mexico, Texas, New Orleans, Florida, the White House, New York City, and on to Canada and Alaska.And then back to his aerie on the West Coast. There, a female eagle joins him. This is his “Lady.” Together Burdha and Lady raise a family—and suffer heartaches in the face of forest fires and starvation.“Big birds don't cry!” quotes Burdha. But even eagles can scream to the edges of sky and heaven, asking the Father of us all to share in their sorrows.Through times of heart-warming happiness and heart-wrenching sadness, Burdha deepens his store of wisdom.In his farewell "Sermon on the Aerie," Burdha shares his lifetime of personal wisdom with the Bird World, and we of the Human World have the honored privilege of listening-in.The first part of his sermon is "The Three Joys" that Burdha gleaned from his journeys and conversations with other birds.The second part is "The Three Truths" that come from discovering your purpose in life, from times of solitude, and from being a blessing to others.The third part is "The Three Songs" that come from persistent hope, the symphony of work and play, and the jig of magic and nonsense.Then there is Burdha's eternal blessing for all birds and his closing song, "Oh When the Birds Go Flying High!" You'll likely be singing with this Bard and his "congregation."Here are a few smidgens of Burdha's wisdom:“So it is, no song or cry from the heart goes unanswered.”“To sing for no reason is to exalt our Master's will for us to live and fly.”“The only road map to the sky is not in front of your eyes but behind them.”The life and times of Burdha the Bard are sure to uplift your spirit of joy and wonder. You can travel to the grand destination meant for your life.As Burdha so aptly put it: “The joyous bird always flies toward his soul.”

Chitter

A Sparrow's Song

By: Rob Nanook Natiuk,Jonathan Natiuk

CHITTER offers a bird-brain view of the meaning of success in all of life. What if you become a bird, what would you learn? What if you become—not a lofty eagle or a musical nightingale—but a lowly House Sparrow?That is the story of a modern, hassled housewife named Debbie. Through story and free-verse songs, CHITTER entertains readers from childhood to adults “up there” in age!These stories can be enjoyed for their simplicity, humor and emotional involvement. More insightful readers can revel in the satire and humor which twist oft-accepted “truths” of what makes up a successful life. Common positive and new-age sayings get mangled, tangled and re-angled in the chitterings and flitterings of sparrows, owls, crows and other creatures of the barnyard and sky. We see how the life and wisdom of Burdha the Bard continues in the Bird world, especially through his disciples whom Debbie meets. But can a sparrow be a Burdha disciple?Whether sparrow or human being, the hunt for true success can be a life-or-death journey. So it is with Debbie. She learns that a sparrow's life is not all chitters—there are dangers everywhere. You might "sing a new song" after you enjoy this heart-warming journey of a lowly House Sparrow with a modern woman's mind! “We think we are each on our own flyway and can fly where we wish. But even the air is shared by many.”“Those who truly love you expect you to fly like the bird you are. If you are a sparrow and fly like a sparrow, you are true to yourself and all others.”“Never forget that every bird is a miracle. From the egg to flight, from life to death, every moment of your life is a miracle.”“When you want to be a different bird than you are, you fly in a divided sky.”“Fly with joy, for every flight shows your life's altitude.”When you read CHITTER, you journey on a beautiful pathway to living in Burdha's joyful wisdom.As he often said: “Whether you sing, chitter or gabble, do so with glory, and you will realize your life's purpose.”

Burdha the Bard

Early Years

By: Rob Nanook Natiuk,Jonathan Natiuk

“Fly with joy and you'll fly faster than the swift of enthusiasm!”How did Burdha come up with such insights when he began life as an ordinary eaglet, one who just about died from a broken wing?Welcome to an imaginative “bird's eye view” of the world, life and true success. These stories, often humorous and sometimes sad, offer deep insights for all ages.Intriguing question: Would Buddha's present reincarnation be a Bald Eagle? If so, that eagle might be called BURDHA THE BARD. These three books, beginning with EARLY YEARS, offer lively and smile-producing parable-stories of eagles, doves, chickadees, owls, sea gulls, vultures and sparrows.More than intriguing tales, they bring fresh insights to help us fly through life with greater grace and harmony.From an early age Billy—his name before the “transformation”—seeks to fill his burning inner quest for wisdom. Billy faces some severe challenges—a broken wing and a fall to the forest floor. Abandonment by his parents, for there is nothing they can do for him. A head injury that leaves him strangely “middle-birdbrained”—or just plain weird. The human world offers him hope—and disasters.Freed at last, Billy faces freezing storms and winter starvation. But he has bird friends who help see him through. Yet, it is something within him that keeps him going—his spirit, wisdom's quest, and above all his humorous view of life.As his wisdom increases, other birds call him “Burdha the Wise.” But he won't accept that honor—until a terrifying storm sends him toward lightning bolts. He appears to grasp one in his talons. In that moment he recognizes the presence of the “Master Bird.” After that, Billy accepts the name "Burdha." He now flies toward his destiny as the Wise Bard of the Bird World. Just a few of his sayings:“Seek to experience the full joy of flying in this life, otherwise you cannot fly joyfully into the next life.”“We dance in the sky not because we're joyful. We're joyful because we choose to dance, whether it is during a time of sorrow or laughter.”“If you cannot fly with joy in earth's sky, how can you fly in heaven, which has a greater sky?”“Even the ugliest bird looks more handsome when he is joyful.”“To listen to your solitude is the flight of payer and praying on the wing.”Burdha is not always serious—he has a sharp wit, too. “Do not stick your beak in another bird's nest.”“The only difference between a manure pile and a garden is time and seeds. In that is wisdom for birds and humans.”“Every goose who flies behind the lead goose must have a sense of humor—or spruce sap in his nose.”With Burdha the Bard, you can fly to a world high above your daily life, a world where wisdom and joy fill the sky and those who fly in it.You will find insights throughout these books. Some will likely become an integral part of your spirit and lift up your joy for years to come. For, as Burdha said, “There is no world as vast as the one beneath your crown feathers.”
