Deja Vu

Preface

The story line is about a young woman’s adjustment to ‘end of the world as we know it’.  There is plenty of high action set amongst a backdrop of metaphysical events.  The story starts at the very edge of society on the verge of collapse then propels the reader into the reality of attempting to adjust to a life style without modern conveniences such as electricity and easy access to food and shelter.  However, it is not just a collection of mundane events.  The story line also addresses the existential questions regarding our very existence.  This takes the reader down a metaphysical path which includes extraterrestrials, angels and demons. 

The original story idea was first started in the late 1970s.  However, after a few chapters it laid dormant for many years until the idea resurfaced in the mid 90s when Jill and I were living in an RV traveling around the Rockies.   It was fun to write and much of it was done while hooked up to a generator while parked on BLM land in Quartzsite Arizona.   At that time she used the name Molly and I went by Gaf.  It was a magical time for us, and we used the story to express personal beliefs.   The following passage from the book was written by Jill.  It truly expresses her beliefs about life beyond the veil of death.

“She loved to watch the water. Sometimes, a drop would fall from above, sending a circle of ripples over the glass-like surface. Staring into the depths of the healing color, she rose and dove deep. The water felt cool and comforting as it caressed her bare skin. Opening her eyes, she saw a wonderful new world through a pale green haze. It was filled with strange plants and very tall trees. 'I'm swimming through the air'. As she laughed in her mind, she saw pretty pink streamers shoot outwardly from her body and fade as she watched. Curious, she laughed again. This time the shade was slightly different and the streamers lasted longer. 'I'm a beautiful kite!" she shouted, as she turned somersaults and continued to swim/fly through her new environment.”

Jill was a wonderful lady who had herself delved into the mysteries of the metaphysical.  She was an ardent believer in the concept that we create our own reality and that all conclusions are valid even those that contradict each other.  She was very soft spoken and had a calming affect on everyone.  Her energy was much like that of a soothing breeze that follows a summer shower.
