It’s posted elsewhere, to avoid confusion, but the numbering started at 10 so I could keep them in numerical order across the headboard. The first 9 are not missing.

This writing was done in this way, at this time, for a couple of reasons:

First. I never felt right about doing this in print form and, potentially, wasting a lot of paper. No sense in publishing something if nobody wants it.

Second. I never felt right about “charging” people when I shared this experience. From the moment I returned I felt that it was to be shared freely, not sold, to anyone that wanted to learn more about the experience.

Third. I never felt right about submitting the writings to someone else that would go in and “edit” it to make it right, under their guidelines. Nothing I wanted to say here should be “edited” by anyone except, possibly, someone else that has been there and knows what I am writing about. Simply changing a couple of words can completely change what is being said.

Finally, I felt the time and the option of posting it this is the best way to do this.

This will all be looked at in other areas but I wanted to make sure that when you read it you understand the why’s and what’s it looks at.
