Why Would You Want to Read Flying into The Sun?

May 12th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Why read this book?  Life is about relationships.

I have had time to study and observe relationships.

My book is the story of a mother, who  faces the emptiness in her

life and take responsibility for it, and for the decisions she makes.

When we find ourselves on the other side of the earth openings occur. Different cultures teach us about ourselves.

The poetry at the beginning of the chapters by Rumi and Rilke,  is penetrating and will  make you think deeply about your own feelings.

The truth is going through your life  changes is a lonely path.  We  try  many new ways of living,  some we

fear.  We must study many things to find new interests which may open to more ideas for life decisions.

When we get forced into making decisions  life gets very painful.

Some of us try to ignore the work and keep hitting our heads against the wall and hope things will change.

That is the definition of  insanity.  Nothing changes unless we make the decision to change.

There are no guarantees about anything. As my Teacher said,  “Everything

is out of control.”

We will make mistakes and falter.  That is okay and we have to  learn to laugh at ourselves.

Once we figure that out, we can drop our defenses and get out “there.”

“There”  is scary, unknown.  I observe my own fear,  when my own life  changes radically.

As a writer I love to share what works for me to live  fully and in the best way.  I hope that

my readers come away from reading about Katherine with inspiration and ideas of how to live own  their lives in

a new and better way.  I have always learned what I need to know by picking up a book and seeing what it

has to offer me.  It can be fiction or non fiction, but everyone who writes has experience to share with others.

Read this book and you will come away full of inspiration for many areas of your life.

    Ginger, I love what you are saying about changing no matter how scary, it is the only way to really live fully, And to be your own person even if that person is different from the one our family and friends feel they know.
    Being in a new town too, I have been backsliding about things like driving to other places that I am unfamiliar with the routes, getting used to new gas stations, doctors, etc.
    But, being in a new place also gives me opportunities to try new things and being aware at 72 that there are lots of things in life that I havent tried. I realize I am becoming somewhat of a character, but I believe I may be actually helping family and friends quesstion what is possible and what is or isnt necessary to have an exciting, meaningful life. Also, because at this age I lose friends all the time, I am preparing myself always for that possibility of being alone and being comfortable with that. I look forward to getting your book!!

    Who ever thought at our age life would be exciting and new and we would be looking forward to the changes. I am amazed. There was an earthquake the other night. When it began I wasn’t sure what it was and then did know and still I sat there and observed. Nothing fell and that was good. What also was good was that I could stay in the moment and be calm and observe. I guess that is how I need to be in every situation. I think we need to be tested to the end of our lives to continue growing and learning. Who knows what our next life might be so all the tools we perfect here might make the next life easier.

    Hi GlenStef, Studying Knee of Listening. Fascinating each time I read it but best with someone close to Adi Da teaching the class to tell us special stories.
