Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

I am 75, going on 17. Ex-cancer, ex-cardiac arrest, ex-amnesia, ex-alcoholic. Meditation helped me emerge from the dungeons of morbidity. A professional writer, I had stopped dabbling in any imaginative work.

My experience shows that few people try to stabilize a self-tormented person. There is no option to soul-searching, genuine introspection, not self-pity.

It took me about four years, but here I am, bouncing back as a flippant clown, flirting withall. Above all, I am back on the job, writing; this time a novel, meant to be an explosive tale of international terrorism, political chicamery, deceit and religious bigotism.

Love the spirit. I hope to have the same enthusiasm as I get older.

It's simple, once one gets the hang of it. Concentration is the key. And go for it.
Focus on the tip of your nose and think of a single entity -- God, son, daughter, spouse, or just ONE.

--Then keep concentrating until ...you see a light which grows around you and envelops you in a soothing embrace. Everything falls in place.

The adage "Where there is a will..." is outdated. I am talking of when there is NO will. Then, you DEMAND divine intervention.

Believe me, it takes time, but it can happen;
