Lloyd, This is very discouraging. I am gratified to have information about what is really going on, however, bad news is what it comes to. Countries and their leaders will do what they will. When it comes to the crunch, individuals aren't those in power. Russia will do what it will to Ukraine, Israel will do what it will to Gaza., etc. I so wish the world would look more hopeful. Besides reading your post, I read this morning that artists, if they protest, are being punished by having their shows cancelled. I'm referring to artists specifically protesting Netanyahu's turning Gaza into rubble and thousands of Palestinians being killed and starved. This censorship is in the United States where we allegedly have free speech. I don't see what our options are. Sincerely, Shirley Gaines
I hear you loud and clear, Shirley! And I understand, and in my heart I know what I would like to witness and live to see, will never happen. But it really could be done if billions of people actually cared and understood their plight and their destiny. Only a rag-tag few of us will ever realize that world peace and harmony is possible. I am no Martin Luther King nor Nelson Mandela. And of course even Jesus Christ died in vain. So realism is as useless as the dreams these men had. But I will still provide information and comment on genuinely wrongful issues that will never be anything more than a wish. My true hope is that there is something lurking, waiting, in the background, a power we are not aware of that will force the hand of these despots who rule with hatred and malice and for their own self-aggrandizement.
I have every intention to turn my commentary into fiction asap, and I've mentioned that in a few of my posts, telling a story which is already written in my mind and a lot of it exists in script by hand on paper, just as the "Sweetwater" novel was originally and bring those of us who are in tune with a different kind of reality into at least a powerful but beautiful story that will somehow raise our spirits while we await our inevitable doom . . .
By the way the 'Sweetwater' twin novels may well be available at least on Amazon sometime next week. Amy and her Pegasus Publishing "crew" has finished preparing both novels for printing. Ir received the galleys from her as of this morning. She and I will do one last iteration of review and place the novel as it exists now in Amazon Books hands and then begin our mission to place the novel with a major book publishing organization. We have a couple in mind that own several huge subsidiaries, and hope to have a substantial inroad with one major publishing house . . . Needless to say, I am overly excited as we move on to this new step to immortalize Ella Watson in a new and more honorable way in American History.
