    About this ebook

    In a dream state, and on the wings of angels, the reader takes a virtual journey across the land and around the globe. Innocent rendezvous with humans and nature reveal lessons and evoke enlightening revelations. Spirituality and religion are explored through their uniting and divisive elements. Our personal roles in the universe, as they relate to the interconnectedness of all things, are examined and celebrated. The poetic read is accompanied by twenty photographs taken by the author.

    An inspiring, thought provoking, spiritual inquiry. A book that honors the earth and all of the earths inhabitantsto be read and heard again and again.
    -Joan Barry, Motivational Speaker, Author, Educator

    A wonderful and enlightened prose, reminiscent of Joseph Campbell. A brilliant reduction of the human experience.

    Author

    P. D. Jacob

    Author Paul Daniel Jacob is a lifelong student of religion, psychology, philosophy, logic, and human behavior. He is as likely to be found hiking atop a mountain in the jungles of Belize or Guatemala as he would be giving a presentation to a group of health educators at an urban conference center. Since childhood, Paul has been drawn to remote locations that provide an ideal atmosphere for introspection, observation, and respect for nature. His inspirations emerge out of the relationships between humankind and all other life forms and nonliving matter, which constitute the clockworks of life. “There can be no separation of, and we should not under-appreciate, the components of our world. Each seemingly insignificant action or inaction is a course-altering factor in the evolution of our vast universe. Our spiritualism inspires our participation. Our spiritual component allows us to be in awe.” P. D. Jacob, author of; THE AWAKENING DREAM – Journey on the Wings of a Thousand Angels HOW WE SHOULD THINK – The Intersections of Philosophical Thought THE FREETHINKING HUMANIST – Pocketbook

      dedication

      I f you live in the Fox Valley region of Wisconsin, U.S.A., you may be familiar with a nonprofit coffeehouse called Harmony Café. I call it a coffeehouse but it is so much more. The Harmony Café welcomes grandparents and grandkids and everyone in between. Diverse races and lifestyles merge for an eclectic mix of social events, entertainment and life-skills programming. All of this occurs under the nurturing umbrella of many community—minded individuals and organizations. Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin has been a pioneering force behind the great things happening here. But it is the collective consciousness that truly drives this unique environment, and solidifies its success.

      One of the most remarkable aspects, and one that earned my respect early on, is the Café’s focus on youth, particularly youth seeking a bit of support and/or guidance. The kids are also involved with the day-to-day operations of the Café, and help to plan and organize events. These youth give me great inspiration! I have watched many of them evolve from insecure observers to socially conscious community activists. So, I dedicate this book about spirituality to all who have put their spirits into the virtual coffee mug of the Harmony Café. You rock the world! Well, at least this little corner of it!—p.d.jacob
