You have to do the things you love, regardless of what you have to do to survive. Jacen has come to understand this fact clearly, after more than 20 years of writing fiction, poetry, and philosophy. A philosopher, spiritual teacher, writer, father, and husband, this book represents a lifetime of experience distilled down into a concentrated form. Synopsis from the back cover: There is a place we all end up eventually. Alone. Within ourselves. A place where we have to stop and look around and ask ourselves, "Why?" We wonder where we are going, where we have been, and if there is a point to it all. Of course, there is. The point is the journey. Each step its own destination. We're all lost in this world, feeling alone, and struggling with pain that we think isolates us from the rest of the world. It's time to begin the process of waking up. The first step is awareness. The realization that you're not alone, and you never have been. The world is not out to get you. The world is ours to create, and the nightmare we seem to find ourselves in is only as deep and as serious as we choose to think that it is. This is life, and this is the world. It's time to wake up, to take notice, and to realize, you're not alone. Everyone is suffering, and it is a choice. This book is a reminder.
