WHAT IT IS TO BE HUMAN -- The
official title of that book was hope lies in our ability to bring
back to awareness What It Is To Be Human. Awkward, but I still 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, over the years the book found its own readers. Word
of Mouth.
ORIGINAL WISDOM; Stories of an Ancient Way of Knowing.
The same book, edited and given another name, 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, and Korean.
Ha’ina Mai Ka Puana; Let the Story Be Told
-- More stories, and from a later time in my life. 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 here, also for free:
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.
Rain of Ashes -- published 2007, available through or at your favorite book seller.
Poor book. Raves of praise (on amazon at least) but has not sold well.
Sometimes I feel guilty that I have abandoned these children of mine,
but I am told they were all premature. This too is a novel. Fiction. I
find it very easy to feel it as real, just another story. This time not
my life, but someone else’s.
A Book of Dreams -- Published 2007, also available through your favorite book seller.
Dreams were the core, the heart, of these stories. It is not about how
to interpret dreams. A 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. I change words,
sentences, whole chapters regularly. So, come back now and then.
