Illusions ~ The Adventures Of A Reluctant Messiah - Quote 2

Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull  came out in 1977 with
Illusions ~ The Adventures Of A Reluctant Messiah.

Snipped the following from an
Amazon.com editorial...



"Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give
our souls wings: that people don't need airplanes to soar...that even
the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them...
and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places--like hay
fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep
within ourselves."

The 192 page paper back edition opens with this line...

"There was a Master come unto the earth, born in the holy land of Indiana,
raised in the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne...."

What I am planning on doing is blogging, in no particular order,
a few quotes every now and then
from the book ....


'Imagine the universe beautiful and just and perfect,



the handbook said to me once. 



Then be sure of one thing: 



the....       Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have."
