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."
We had this book in my house growning up. Every once in a while, I was drawn to it. Thanks for bringing back a great memory!
