Excerpt from the book

Chapter 1 - HARD TIME - Summer 1970

Chapter 1 - HARD TIME - Summer 1970 


The handcuffs locked around my wrists. I had been tried, convicted, and sentenced.

I was twenty-one-years old, as I stood shackled and ready to be transported to the Camp Lejeune Regional Brig of the US Marine Corps in Jacksonville, North Carolina.


This military prison was where I wanted to be. My entire focus for the prior three years had been directed toward getting me to this point. This place was the only one where I could end a bad beginning. 


 Silently, I searched for that quiet center of my being that gave me the strength to get this far. My heart pounded. My swirling emotions calmed when I focused my attention on my hands. The handcuffs threw me; they were not part of my anticipated scenario. 


 My sorrow was deep. Not for myself, but for others for whom I caused pain and suffering through my actions. I asked myself, “My God, why hadn’t I grown up sooner?” 

    A story about redemption, and forgiveness

MEDITATION IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

If You Learn the secret of how to control your responses, how to find that God-given switch in your mind which would allow you to observe and energize yourself, you would learn to overcome conflict, guilt, addiction, or depression. If you are willing to be shown how, you can become the person you were created to be.
