Book Cover & Preview Text
For me. Life also has a mystical element that can not be ignored in our quest for truth. It is this knowledge that has enriched my own life through many years and given me strength of my inner spirit, sensed though unproved. I have discovered Heaven on this earth. We are often skeptical of those ideas or theories, which we can not prove, of our inner or out universe. We are suspicious of dreams and miracles because we are unable to explain their origins or their irregularity. I find that the secrets of the universe add an enchantment to the workings of my imagination toward creation and as such, give texture and mystery to my life on earth. They come to give us sustenance, courage, moral foundation and the ability to arrive at unconditional love, gratitude, and ultimate sacrifice.

About the Book
According to the Bible, when Jesus walked on water, His disciple Peter wanted to join him. Peter did walk on water until he took account of the wind stirring up an angry sea; he sank because he could not put the upsetting sounds of thunder and lightning out of his fears. Cancer is like the storm that caused Peter to sink. The bad news overwhelms us, and though so many strides have been made toward the treatment of cancer, we focus on the bad news. It’s almost impossible unless we learn to rely on what we do not hear and cannot always see, the workings of God in our lives. This little book was a gift from God to me during the forty days of Easter of 2012.
I had a divine idea to write every day for forty days as my Lenten resolution. On Good Friday, it was finished. What emerged was God’s gift to a sinking woman. It’s not over until God says it’s over, despite the prognosis.
