What It Is To Be Human -- The
full (clumsy) title of the book was "hope lies in our ability to bring back to
awareness
What It Is To Be Human." Awkward perhaps, but I like what it
says. Published 1994, now OUT of PRINT A book
of stories that I experienced, showing that people in other cultures
see a different reality than we see. They think differently, certainly
judge differently. And that is interesting and important to know, I
think.
Authors are supposed to promote their own books. I don’t know how.
Fortunately, the book found its own readers from one to another
Original
Wisdom; Stories of an
Ancient Way of Knowing.
The same book, edited and given another title, published in 2001 (it
came out a few weeks before 9-11). It is still in print, and, as its
first manifestation, is finding readers.
This book is translated in Croatian, Dutch, Korean, and currently (2010) being translated in German..
Ha’ina Mai Ka
Puana; Let the Story Be Told -- More stories, from a later time in
my life. Many of them of Hawai'i and other islands of the Pacific.
Not in print, but you can download it, if you want to read it. You may
pass it on, make as many copies as you want. Under the Common Copyright
agreement, the only thing you cannot do is make money from it.
NOTE: many of these writings are downloadable from this web site. Often
in .pdf format. You need a “pdf reader” to open these documents. If
your computer does not have such a reader you can download one

SPIRAL
Web published only. Free download. Don’t know exactly how to say what
it is about. It is a novel, that means it is fiction. It may be in the
future, or in another future, or in a parallel universe. It is not
science fiction: not much science in it. Nor is it fantasy, exactly.
Ah… read it. Oh, and the title -- that cannot be changed; nor the all
caps. I have no idea why that should be, but every time I tried to
think of a better title, or just a different spelling, something in me
said, No.
Rain of Ashes
-- published 2007, available through or at your favorite book
seller.
Raves of praise (on amazon). This too is a novel. Fiction. I find it
very easy to feel it as real, but it is just a story.
And I have written a sequel, called ANANSÍ, so far only available in
pdf (e-book format). You can download the whole book (click on the
name)
Anansí is, strictly, not a 'sequel' because it deals only with "the
people from Africa: after they leave the cabin the north woods...
A Book of Dreams
-- Published 2007, also available through your favorite book seller.
Dreams were the roots, the seeds of these stories. The book is not
about how to interpret dreams. The meaning of a dream is for the
dreamer only. Dreams are an important part of my life. As important as
breathing, perhaps. I like this book. I am blessed because, on the
whole, I like my own work. I like my paintings, and I often like what I
write and now and then I delight when finding just the right few words.
Or, they find me.
WARNING: this web site is alive. I fuss with it, change words,
sentences regularly. Add new writing (particularly in "Specials." Come
