Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

I am 75, going on 17. Ex-cancer, ex-cardiac arrest, ex-amnesia, ex-alcoholic. Meditation helped me emerge from the dungeons of morbidity. A professional writer, I had stopped dabbling in any imaginative work.

My experience shows that few people try to stabilize a self-tormented person. There is no option to soul-searching, genuine introspection, not self-pity.

It took me about four years, but here I am, bouncing back as a flippant clown, flirting withall. Above all, I am back on the job, writing; this time a novel, meant to be an explosive tale of international terrorism, political chicamery, deceit and religious bigotism.

Love the spirit. I hope to have the same enthusiasm as I get older.

The adage "Where there is a will..." is outdated. I am talking of when there is NO will. Then, you DEMAND divine intervention.

Believe me, it takes time, but it can happen;

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.
