Coyote Tails An Adventure Fantasy

The waning of another Arizona day of sunshine finds our storyteller, "by chance," gazing down his little canyon just as a glowing large coyote is climbing the game trail that traverses the length of his retirement 'canyon.' It is followed by three dazed, desperate-looking hunters! He heads for his kitchen door to intercept them, not knowing the coyote is the Navajo Meiiji and will capture his spirit forever! The following reincarnation and later execution will draw him and his mate deeply into the Dine and Hopi spirit worlds of coyotes, reptiles, sand paintings, medicine men, kachinas, powaqas, and Old Ones (Anasazi) forevermore! With all in the vehicle, we began to move toward the road just as the headlights of another vehicle appeared. It slowed and pulled off on the shoulder as we reached the pavement. Three dark-skinned men piled from an old pickup. They looked totally confused. The driver was mumbling. We paused, thinking they were going to ask us something, but they only looked casually at us. They seemed to be trying to decide what it was they wanted to do here. We waved and started for home. Kescy began to chuckle!
