TRANSITIONS between Life and Death
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
“We obey commands like dutiful, well-mannered children. We reject possibilities that our entire skin and intuition urge us to accept. Thus, we walk around within our social mind in concealed restlessness and our misery tucked away.”
“They highly recommend meditation and a few sips of vodka to help us swallow smoothly the gulps of desolation life (with all its included deaths) forces down our throat”
“In case your pets are dragged behind you, be prepared to lose them along the way. They are not allowed into morgues and do not survive certain flames. In the rare event that they returned to life with you, their eyes will never be the same. It is not hatred on their part. Some types of anguish for them (those they physically survive) sharpen their teeth and their confusion forever. But remember that you once loved them precisely because of the purity of their eyes and because duplicity was not a part of them. They, unlike you, cannot be more than once.”
“Suddenly I feel free, the past is over, I can sit to have a coffee at The Edge of Heaven”

About the Book
A book to read when life has dragged you down to that deep hole where your mind finds all forms of media or entertainment too meaningless. A “bridge” book one may need when comforting words and self-help readings cannot help just yet, and no advice makes sense to heal a profound death in the middle of one’s life. Perhaps this is a book between life … death … and “life” again.
