Mark Twain wrote in 1869 in Innocents Abroad: "Travel is fatal to
prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people
need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable
views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one
little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."? "The Strange
Request" introduces Alex with a need for nurture and a full life.
His parents kept him sequestered for years for unusual reasons. An
older sister moved away from home, taking Alex with her, but
requests help. As Greg and Gwen listen, strangers they meet and
show care for him, Alex begins to lead them to a number of
mysterious places in the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain near a retreat
full of interesting international guests. Greg and Gwen have
insight into the mysteries that unfold as they explore. One mystery
opens another with ensuing solutions in France, Spain,
Myanmar/Burma and Thailand. Old treasure returns to families
generations later. Rare rubies emerge glowing from internal light.
Caves appear with intact pictographs and ancient burial sites full
of artifacts. Characters in the book have different skills,
experiences in life, creativity for design and use of light for
special decoration. Skills of observation reveal more mysteries.
Each character shares philosophies and ideals learned from travel
and living life with exuberance. Live life with zest, the mental
spice.
"La Doa, One Person as Three" describes a wealthy woman who creates
two other personalities to find a non-violent way to destroy a drug
operation in a remote Guatemalan town: a sister in plain dress and
her angry mental creature full of power. She inspires the people of
the town to pull together to love and trust each other. At the same
time her son, who is on drugs, finds a cure from a Mayan Curandero
and becomes a new man. The ancient town moves into the modern age,
keeping old traditions that matter, but dropping bad habits and
taboos gathered over centuries. Once a human catalyst is active,
many events can unfold. This story is based on real people, too
moving to forget, who created co-operatives teaching new skills to
women who had lost their husbands or had been abandoned. They
learned that every individual has power to be used thoughtfully.
