Three of Uncle Bills books have been dear to my heart since Howard Wallace re-posted them awhile ago. "The Dreamer" is a poignant story of how darkness of the heart can be transformed by simple kindness, friendship and honor. It is not a G-rated story and some may find parts of it a bit disturbing, yet it is well crafted and touching in many ways none the less.
"Songs of the Sand Country" is a poetry book with a bit of Uncles life experience mixed in. It is a story about nature and how we should love and respect it, but also laments the changes that have come to encroach upon it.

Both these books were written before Uncle went to Nepal, while he was still finding his way in life. They are testament to the good man he was even before finding Buddhism and being the man we here have known and loved. Uncle Bill would be the first to tell you that he was but a man, as are any of us. But the humanity of his words are like catharsis for the soul. I would consider him enlightened.
Just as Uncles words on this forum have taught us much, in my opinion these books are lessons from him too. I urge you all to take some time to download and read them, if you havent done so already. Thank you to ted for hosting the link and for letting me post it here, And to Howard for sharing his own copy with us.

They are in PDF format so you will have to have Adobe Reader to access them once downloaded. Just click on the "download" button to download or you can just view them there on the site.

Karda,
This is one of the best subjects for a Cantina Sticky you could have chosen.It keeps Bill more squarely in our eye when we check in.
I remember when Howard put these up the first time. I've read them many times.

Thank you

Thank you Roger! I never tire of reading them and i felt that old and new members would enjoy them as much as i. They are truly stories worthy of being passed on to as many people who will open their hearts to listen.
 
Thank you for posting the Uncle Bill's books, Karda
 
I didn't realize teds old link to this file had become password protected. I've uploaded them to my own account so that they are available again.
Please see first post for links.
 
thanks a bunch karda, I agree with you that bill had attained an enlightenment, otherwise he would not have devoted his life to this business and helping those people. great post, thanks
 
You're Welcome, Gehazi.
I just realized that I posted the Songs link twice. The Dreamer link is now fixed.
