Preface

 

Maeya is about... well, I think I'd rather have you tell me after you’ve read it! Your perception of your world will color your thoughts as you read this book. I would think that others would describe it as science fiction, but I think you'll find it really won't fit easily under any label. I am hoping that this book will make you laugh a little, maybe shed a tear or so, but most of all prompt you to give some thought to what takes place, and what has taken place in the world around you... before you and I arrived. I'm talking about the "big picture" of things... things that maybe you've never thought about before.

I’ve written this book gleaned from the many lessons learned in life. When I was young there was no way to get the big picture of life as I now see it. With decades behind me of observing the world, it's that picture that I am trying to convey to you in this book. I know all of the above comes across as being very cryptic. I just don't want to give the story line away before you read it! I'm hoping that something in the book will resonate with your consciousness. I would like to think that, after reading this short story, you would have come away with something you consider of value. Maybe it will be just a smile; a few hours of entertainment... then again, maybe you'll never look at this present world in the same way that you do now... who knows?

By the way, PLEASE resist the temptation to skip ahead of the first few chapters in reading. That WILL spoil the plot for you! The first few chapters are a bit "technical". PLEASE bear with it and just consider it part of the experience. Don't think that the rest of the book will be the same... it won't. The rest of the book is mostly “easy reading”, but don’t let that fool you into reading through it fast. Take your time and absorb the story. If you read quickly, you’ll miss some “hidden” treasures and truths. Trust me, the first few chapters will give you NO CLUE to where this book is going! Hang in there... don't give up on it... I'm confident you'll feel rewarded!
