The Light Had Simply And Utterly Destroyed

. . . Your History Is No Less Important To Your Survival Than Your Ability To Breathe. In The End, You Can Only Determine Whether To Saturate Your Memories With Pain Or With Perspective. Forgetting Is Not An Option. I Tell You The Truth Now: Pain Was Not God's Plan For This Life. It Is A Reality, But It Is Not A Part Of The Plan.

The Problem With Any Philosophical Consideration Is That Once You Open A Door In Your Mind, You Can Never Close It. Once You Learn Something, You Can Never Convince Your Mind That You Didn't Learn It. If You Learn The World Is Round, You Can Never Fit In With A World That Thinks It's Flat.

I Think Everything We Do, On One Level Or Another, As Writers, Most Of Our Writing Is Informed By Our World View. It's Informed By Our Own Understanding Of Spirituality; Things That Matter, Things That Are Important To Us. I Write About Things That Matter For Me.

I Would Like My Readers To Close The Cover At The End And Say, 'wow, I Never Thought Of It Like That Before'.

You'll Have To Learn To Control Your Emotions. They're New, Like Achild's Now, Bursting With Passion. Never Let Them Fade, Or Part Of You Will Die. But They Cal Also Destroy You. Hold Them Dear, But Don't Let Them Take Hold Of You.
