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.

Truth Or Consequencies

I wrote this essay as a comment to articles on the following site: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/archives/2007/02/ One might not think so, but there is a relationship, between trans fat, global warming and the drunk driving issue. Unfortunately, I think that the problem has to do with education. These days in school, we are so afraid to step on someone's toes, so we avoid teaching morals in school, and why should we? 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...

Finding Agreement

Someone made a comment as to my using 'We' on the list of questions a few posts back. I used the word we in reference to we, as the human race! This is a semantic disagreement. It was 'We' not leaving myself out. If I say, "How long is the human race going to", it is a bit cold, depersonalized and it is sounds like I am leaving myself out. I then could be accused of thinking myself superior. If I would say, "How long are the the Jews or the Muslims or the Christians," it is separating myself from them. Now, think about this in reference to religious works that were written hundreds and hundreds of years ago, which we expect to translate literally and were often times written in poetic language. If you add to this that we are all in human form and the consciousness of spirit has to filter down through a mind of certain time period's knowledge and experience, even in saints, and then add to that, holy books were often written way after the ...

More Monkeys and Synchronicity

Well, it has been more than busy the last few days, but amidst a car that broke down, extra things for the end of season at my job, etc., I sat down for breakfast with a friend at a coffee shop that has a garden out back and a book library to boot. One side of the coffee shop is all full length windows, so, even sitting on bookside, we could look out at the garden which was now decorated with elves. We ordered, and, as I sat there, I got this nudge to take further purusal of the books by my side many of which were dated to say the least. The last time I had been there I had pulled out some of their vast collection of National Georgraphics. National Georgraphics were the start of my adventures. My unmarried uncle, who had lived upstairs from us with my grandparents, had a vast collection of them, and I would look at them in wonder and amazement. I now looked at something else in wonder and amazement. There squeezed in, on its side, between some hardcovers, well worn a...
