THE KITE OF YOUR GENIUS

It's simple, really.
We are like kites. The vertical stick of the kite of your Genius runs between yourself and the spiritual world where you get your inspirations and insights. The horizontal stick runs between us to our family and community.
We bend or arc these sticks through our efforts or experiences so that our kite can not just survive in the headwinds of life, but gain lift and rise up. We can fine-tune the airfoil of our lives to withstand even greater headwinds.
The secret is that the kite of you, of your Genius, is connected with many others — friends, family, or workplace. When you rise, you lift them, too.
How does this book help?
The question for many of us is, what is it that gives us lift? Or, why am I spinning out of control? Or feeling dragged down with no lift?
The key to self-understanding is to take a brief moment of reflection.
Each chapter in this book offers you the opportunity to read one or another of the short essays or intense creative nonfiction pieces (meaning “quick reads”). They are about the struggles of life. They may be different than your life, but considering them by contrast or comparison changes your thinking and offers a very brief moment of clarity.
