In the beginning

I believed that I was writing because I had to. It was initially a way to process my feelings, my pain, and joy. In this book, I attempt to connect with anyone out there who feels they are weird or alone or in despair. I'm just one seemingly individual being reaching out across the boundaries of time and space in hopes to show how connected we are.

We share a oneness that is often overshadowed by the separate aloneness many feel, and we hide ourselves in the distractions so abundantly available to see, like TV. If we seek something different, a world closer to the heaven spoken of in myth, we must be a part of the change, the work toward healing, respect, and reverence that grows from a seed planted once as ideas into a mountain of possibilities that has always been inside us.

These words on paper are pieces of the mountain I feel growing inside of me, coming seemingly from nowhere.
