A LIFE FILLED WITH MEANING

Okay, now that I see how temporary, how fleeting, life is—now what do I do? A couple of years ago when I decided once and for all to "follow my bliss" I was sure I knew what to do. I had a story that had to be told. The story was "Beneath Buddha’s Eyes." For better or worse, it has now become my first novel. So now what? Is there more to this story? Or do I just settle into the job of being a novelist and find a new subject—any subject—to write about? I might if I could. But, for me, life is never that easy. Especially now that I’ve found my voice, I can’t write about just any old thing; it actually has to have some meaning for me. What I write has to be something that will teach me something about myself. Remember, I am now aware of just how temporary life is—so there’s no time to waste. Every minute counts…

So, what, Dear God and friends, will my next book be about?
