This interesting and thought-provoking work
came to me one morning during my usual
walking meditation. A voice in my head, not
mine (at least it did not sound like mine) was
speaking these words. I continued my walk
thinking the chatter would cease; it got only
louder, nearly screaming. I realized that I
needed to get this out on paper. I hurried
home and pecked at my computer till I got it
down. I say “pecked”, for my typing skills are
limited. Thanks for spell check. Over the next
few weeks this voice fed me more to write
down, then the voice ceased. For the next
couple months the book was created with
editing help from many friends.
