Go there

There are 47 preview books of RESURGAM left to sell.
The rough draft to story 2 is complete.
Sophy is on new ground.
It's time to refine the focus, which is exploring the ground of remembrance. I arrived at this place - the ground of remembrance - because I responded to the subtlest of calls, "Remember them." The first 'call for remembrance' arrived in the form of a white business envelope standing against a black panel, the second call was a chance sighting seen during a short feature on local TV show, and the third was a letter published in a book. All three 'calls for remembrance' were created by the same man: Phil Woodall. He was the first guide who encouraged this writer to "go there." War was not somewhere I wanted to go, but I wanted to learn about Alpha Company so I began the journey.

The copy on the book's back cover, "The two words transform into a presence that enters Sophy's awareness, directs her attention to the darkness, and whispers "Go there."
When I self-published the preview copy of RESURGAM I thought I had wrapped up the story. The writer had gone there. The characters had gone there. None ran away. RESURGAM was complete. I was done. I avoided having to write Sophy out of home because I (the writer) decided she would land in Washington DC.

As I distributed the batch of "preview copies," I began receiving the next round of clues. I met new teachers and guides. When synchronicity unfolded with ease, I knew an opportunity arrived. I learned I had to return to "Home."* I (the writer) had left Sophy standing there. I pretended not to see this, tried to forget it, thought my original idea of placing Sophy into DC would work.

24 years ago on January 28, I turned away from a sight I didn't want to see. It didn't matter. Turning away doesn't make reality go away. Today someone reminded me of the book's foreword: Resurgam is the promise that out of ashes grows new life. It is the mysterious transformation that delivers love and new life when one remembers and responds. A transformation can take a long, long time.

*"Home" is a chapter in RESURGAM.
