An Announcement - "Expectant" Publication...

I spend all of yesterday taking excerpts from a book I'm preparing for publication, with the intention of sending out a few newsletters.  I'm doing this for those expressing an interest as they vigil in patience for my productivity to be concretely productive! 

I was thinking a preview for immediate imbibing of the sweet nectar's of clarity would be something lovely since the process of publishing has been so elongated and time consuming. 

Time is consumed from the reader and writer. The reader doesn't know what is coming or necessarily that there is a long wait.  This can't be seen  until the information is out there, and upon reading it, the reader utters, "Wow...I've been waiting for this a long time..."

However, from my perspective, I know the nature, the value, and the sense of urgency to deliver is no less than any pregnant woman waiting to give an over-due birth!!!  Thus, I relieve some of the pressure by "going an unconventional route."

 This getting out-of-the-box is not an effort for me, rather, the tediousness of using technical or physical production stuff, is my meet with constriction. 

Also, typical advice, is warning me that this is premature to the safety-net of copyright "stuff" as understood in the normal routes to book publication. It is hard to "turn a deaf ear" to the business acumen of others in a hostile "me-me-me" world. 

I've taken precautions, but, hostile is as hostile does, eh?

 I neither anticipate such conflicts, nor do I worry over them; I'm simply not ignorant of such shenanigans as within the realm of possibilities in a world not sufficiently redeemed back to its natural state of GodGoodness in all everyone thinks, says, and does.

So, I'm presently that woman with the baby pressing on her insides to be born, and waiting for the ride to the midwife's place prepared for me, and verging on saying, " I don't give "X@" get that baby Out of Me!"

On a calmer note, I'm actually quite amazed with my accomplishment with this project.  I'm still in limbo as to whether the downloading to my page and subsequent sending it off to "new readers" will go without a "hitch or glitch," But, that IS about to be seen. 

I do hope I won't find myself calling out, "Wolf", only this time it would be, "Simple!" and find myself in such a technical snitch that I appear to be all talk and no action... actually, that is a realistic concern.  Prudence tells me to wait until the "goods" are in my hand, but, pregnant women aren't known for self-restraint, are they??? 

I still DO NOT have my computer back and that has been months@!!!!  So, I take this step with conviction, AND the honesty of possible intractable delays beyond my technical skill department.  The computer has not been especially responsive to the wave my magical wand.  (I jest, but, you get 'the point', I'm sure.)

 At least I feel the calm of integrity by "placing my cards" on the table.  Time will tell if I'm using good judgment here, or "jumping the (proverbial) gun."  Is this what business calls "risk assessment"?!

Oh, PLEASE, do bless me with your envisioning of the final steps as seamlessly smooth as silk. (ooh, I do love silk!)  I thank you in advance, for your kind energies and considerations.

The sole purpose of this particular book series is to simplify the complexity that has become the spiritual quest for so many people. 

I was nudged even more so when I started to read the zLounge>Water Cooler>The Enlightened Elite? posts initiated by MuseEvolution, since the concerns expressed the confusion generated by using "big words, or words used in unusual context...only understood by the enlightened elite."

 My heart has been going out to all those with this concern as my intention is to alleviate this kind of gap of communicating, albeit, I do recognize when speaking of Infinity, when you are truly in-touch with that kind of awareness, can be quite a challenge to "get it down" to the prime, or to the simplest of terms for a dialog, esp. with a computer. 

This type of stuff is better suited, I feel, for an open interactive dialog generated by questions and answers.  I guess that is the wisdom of many of Krishmnamurti's books being written in that format as an after result of talks with him. Same can be said for my deep respect of teaching largely from a Socaratic Methodology.

I've found with my work with children, that reducing the very big concepts down into smaller "bite-sized" chucks that are easily digestible works just as well for adults as it does for children.  I got that insight one day as I was teaching a Sunday school class with some teaching aides I had  "dreamed up" and saw a mother at the back of the room weeping.

 When I went to her, she informed me that the tears were of joy, so much of what had been eluding her in her all-consuming passion to know God 24hr/7days per week,  "came together" in the lessons she was hearing that day for children. 

That's when I learned, find a way to teach it so the children understand it and the adults will follow!

Keep an eye open for the NEWSLETTER's readiness on the Newsletter tab atop of this page.

Have a great and wonder+full day and one that is productive, to-boot!  God, I haven't thought of that phrase in years.  It was a favorite of my mom's, and actually akin to lagniappe !  This is a Cajun French word, and my mom was French Canadian, ummmm, looks like French is as French does, with a bit of bon vivant!...maybe this is what is at the heart of the French Paradox!!??

 I just happened upon that wonderful word from a zaadzster, named, A Friend.  I intend to write him soon regarding my graditude for his sharing that with us and several other things of life parallels with abuse and his...   Sharing is Caring...
