Excerpt: The Green Tea Chronicles

As a solitary spirit there was not much I had to do. I released him to the world and allowed myself to wander across the vast land knowing it would be many years before I saw it from that heavenly angle again. I was glad to get away from the frantic East Coast cities with their noisy cars and smokestacks and buzz of human activity. In the Mid West I found peace, and solace. Here the corn grew, with no cares other than reaching for the plenteous sunshine. I settled down into a field of alfalfa near an irrigation ditch, running my joy over the sweet purple flowers and playing with the thin and springy leaves. I leaned down into the soil and felt its coolness calling to my spirit, welcoming me back for another go-round at earthly life. The water slowly coursed through the narrow earthbound canal, and I meandered over to it and touched it, wishing it love and peace. It smiled back at me, getting glimmery and bright, momentarily. I thought to myself, It isn't so bad, and Earth will be changed before long. Of that I was sure, as it was expected. That's why we agreed to return again, was it not?
