My Book

Summary

INFINITY'S REFLECTION

This work of fiction, while set in the midst of the economic and political dilemmas of present times, journeys back three generations to World War II, through the eyes of one of the main characters. The book, though fiction, is very much mixed-genre, since it contains essays, poetry, journaling and autobiographical material placed inside of fictionalized events, placed inside the reality of current times. War and discrimination are powerful themes weaved into this book, and so are the incongruences of relationships. But most of all, the book calls forth a spirituality, which is not vested in religious theology and searches for the place where all religions blend inside ourselves.

The great Sufi poet, Rumi, said:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.

Are you shocked? Read further. It has always seemed quite interesting to me that no one can come up with a simple means to start teaching community, integrity, self responsibility and the like to young children from their very first textbooks. I don't see that the word God has to be in there or in order to do that. All great religions teach a core of values that cross borders. There are values that are there in the constitution and the creation of America . By the way, a constitution created by people (whether or not you want to call it a dem...

So My Thoughts and Questions Are These

How long are we willing to keep looking at the differences between each other for the sake of disagreement, power and being right, whether it is easy to admit that we are doing that or not? How long are we willing to pretend that things around us are not happening, when they are, because we don't want to admit our fears, vulnerability and recognize that we are not sure what to do about things, so that we can start to face what we need to face as a nation and in the world? How long are we willing to turn away from the interconnectedness between things? How long are we willing to fight the same battles over and over again from one place to the next, while the same money could feed the poor, educate the world and preserve the economy? How long are we willing to keep seeing the problem as something separate from us? How long are we willing to keep fighting battles that are centuries old? How is that we have our federal taxes go to war, the infrastructure, and all the other things that...
