Before and Beyond Understanding: A Different Way to Handle a Difficult Time

There isn't much question that we are living in a world and at a time, that is more dangerous now than ever in our history. True or not, it's probably fair to say that in today's world, we are exposed to continuously negative energy and polarization. It's also probably fair to say that if each of us chooses to change our focus, even if only for a few moments, we may find a different way to handle a difficult reality. Perhaps, if enough people focus on the simple beauty of ourselves and our humanity, we may actually be able to create a new paradigm shift. Awareness and understanding, kindness and compassion, and taking the time to be a participant in them... although perhaps "pie in the sky," or a seemingly impossible task, is what this book is all about. It's about "you," and how you may deal with and experience the time in which we live. Hopefully, you will find that the words and photos in this book, will help to inspire and guide you through the process of coming to a new and more peaceful place in the world. And just maybe, you can pay that forward.
