BLURB:
When four ten yen coins are mysteriously
received, who knows where the journey will lead and what miracles may occur
along the way.
For
many years, the monk sat beside the Ajiike pond as he did today in the early
morning, breathing in the peaceful settings of the Pure Land gardens........He
was angry at the awful atrocities so recently bestowed upon his people....
Caitlin
was ambitious to the point of ruthlessness.........
JJ
was counting on getting a job at Johns Hopkins......he had to get out of
Ashland KY and his fathers house before he blew his stack......
Little
Tommy....He glanced again at the coin beside his hospital bed and felt suddenly
peaceful.....Like maybe everything would be ok.......
Paul
Somerville....Tommys father, former Hollywood actor, wannabe political
star.......
Four
people....four ten yen coins....
and
a miracle.........?

EXCERPT:
Surely
Caitlin Morgan's day couldn't get any worse? When she stepped out of the
offices of Gorman Hardy Investment Bank on Moorgate, the heavens opened and the
rain poured down. Cursing wearily under her breath, Caitlin delved in her new
Birkin bag for her umbrella; pulling out keys, purse, make up and tissues
(thankfully un-used), but to her dismay, no umbrella.
"Blast,"
she muttered, beginning to run to the empty bus shelter just outside her office
building. Unlike her, most people had, at ten pm on a Friday night, gone home
to enjoy the weekend. Or else they were crammed into the many bars around the
city of London, enjoying a well-earned drink at the end of a tough working
week.
Not
me though, she mused, opening her purse to look for change for the bus. No, she
would be heading straight home with just the prospect of a hot bath and a good
book as her only bed companion. Not that she minded. She actually had no time
for any kind of socializing anyway, and besides, why would she want to spend
time with work colleagues on a Friday evening? Didn't she see enough of those
idiots during the week?

She says, "Boring life?
Let's not do duty. Let's do awe! Take a look at your own complexity? You might
be amazed. Life leads us into so many interesting and sometimes difficult
crossroads where we get to choose what now, what next? As a student of
mysticism and spirituality in all its incarnations both religious, secular, and
new age, I want to understand what life is about, what is truth? I am still
seeking, but I am offering to those who are interested my insights weaved
throughout my essays and stories. I hope my writings might add to your already
surprising lives."
