Sister Savage
I don’t feel like saying words to the world unless the Spirit moves me to do so. I haven’t had many writings this year because I wait for that Spirit to give me the words to write. I think most of you know what the Spirit is. It can be plural, it can be loud, it can be soft, it can take shape and even gender. How the Spirit works is for you and only you to know and feel. I cannot describe your Spirit, because I can only express my Spirit. It is Holy and it is sacred but also tricksy and Humorous. It makes tears and laughter flow easily from me.
Be suspect of the idea that The Spirit is somewhere difficult to access. A lie that men can use to control you is that you can lose the Spirit or have it abandon you. Your Spirit(s) are yours and with you always and forever.
I always want to channel my Spirit when I make words on paper or screens. I have been gifted, blessed and genetically programmed as a human being to have a very discerning vision to see true Spirit. It’s been with me since my first memories. I “feel” people and their Spirit guides. Most of my friends from youth have been coming back into my life in very meaningful ways. This is the work of my Spirit calling them back so our Spirits may dance and sing. Spirit bonds are eternal.
Sister Savage will be the telling of how me and my best friends feel this Spirit. It’s a story that will come from pure Spirit. It will take years to translate and inscribe this never ending story, but we have been called to do this important work.
Sister Savage is a real woman in our world. Her given name is Sindee. She was born in Daegu, South Korea in 1979 and came to Utah as a 4 month old baby girl into a loving Mormon family with the last name of Savage. Her only artifact from her birth country is a green jacket with a dragon on it that she has treasured her whole life.
In Seattle, one year ago, we were at a creative conference. The idea to make a story featuring Sindee as a Sister Missionary for the Mormon faith was spoken around a fire on the balcony of our Airbnb. Sister Savage would be a few months into her mission when she would receive a special calling…she, alone, has been called and set-apart… to kill demons.
I travel with Kirk, my biz partner, all over the world. He always gets creative like this and I blame this idea on the fact that we were in Washington State, the land where he dedicated 2 years of his life to serve as a missionary.
In the Saga of Sister Savage, he is her mission president, and supports her calling to destroy evil. I cannot share who the opponents are yet, but they are all in the scriptures…no matter what scriptures your study. Kirk’s fantasy as a missionary was to have a leader come to him with a similar assignment to take on the demons of antiquity.
The animated stories, manhwa / manga, is being created now and will be a full anime or aeni in the next few years. We plan to launch in South Korea and hoping the Mormon missionaries will be the first to see and share the message of Sister Savage.
I chose this holy day of April 20th at 4:20 to share this message about Spirit and creation because something moved in me to share it now.
Sindee travels tomorrow morning to South Korea for the first time since she left in March of 1980. She will touch her homeland after 46 years and there is such wonderment around the thought that she has family there, birth parents, siblings she has never met with names she doesn’t know.
What she did tell me today on the phone is that there is a cord that stretches across the ocean coming from a soul, near Seoul, that prays for her each day and loves her. That made my tears form, my Spirit whispers this is true to me, that Sindee is loved infinitely by the Woman who made Her.
Sindee, Kirk and many more will help tell her story and the story of our shared religious foundation… through the eyes of a female heroine, who has to save not just her soul, but yea, verily I say unto you, your very own. Is this fiction or is that faith?
