Everyone begins as a Layman. Everyone is on a journey. Many of our journeys intersect. When those intersections occur, we engage in some way. Whether by intention or by happenstance, whether by omission or by commission, we engage and have an impact on each other. This is where lessons are learned, or at least, lessons are available if we choose to observe and learn them. It is easy to ignore lessons that were carefully crafted for us...in fact maybe we often do ignore them. I've tried with great diligence to learn lessons along my particular path and to learn to distinguish good from bad, proper from improper, hope from despair, how to engage and when not to. This book is a partial expression of those lessons gained from interaction and relationships with others whom I've encountered thus far.
These lessons are shared as a book not because they are particularly grand or insightful, but because I hope they can endure in their simplicity. I also wanted to convey, through their enduring nature, that we can commit to the knowledge of how to interact, how to hope, how to plan, and how to persevere. I want readers to be able to contemplate the simple lessons I have learned, unwrap these lessons in their own contexts, and build upon them, or reject them if needed. Whichever the case, maybe, the reader can discover something new about themself or the world within which they live and occupy space and time with others whom they will encounter along their particular path.
I started with nearly nothing and hopefully, will leave something for others to build upon. This is the nature of my journey, and this book is now part of it.
