This story recounts the legend of Keesh, an Eskimo boy who used "brains not brawn" to defeat a powerful polar bear and save his people from starvation.

Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. THE STORY OF KEESH: Keesh lived long ago on the rim of the polar sea, was head man of his village through many and prosperous years, and died full of honors with his name on the lips of men. So long ago did he live that only the old men remember his name, his name and the tale, which they got from the old men before them, and which the old men to come will tell to their children and their children's children down to the end of time.

Jack London was an American novelist and journalist who is considered the world’s first literary celebrity. Looking at The Story of Keesh, published in 1904, it is clear how London could have achieved such prominence. The Story of Keesh is a simple yet compelling short moral fable about the eponymous Keesh, an outcast of an Inuit tribe, and his quest to honor his late father’s legacy by providing the condemnatory but starving tribe with meat.

The origin of my healing journey began with a seemingly innocent request to God asking him to make a path for me toward a more authentic existence. In return, my life completely flipped upside down and everything I claimed as my truth gradually began to disintegrate. Lavender Heart Tea explores my ongoing healing journey through a collection of love notes to my inner child, monologues to my adult self to better help reparent the inner child, and various short stories and poems that creatively explore various revelations and "ah-ha" moments I've experienced throughout my journey.
