“The morning had a wonderful purity about it. the low-slung sun, which might have been a mighty fireball in preparation to be launched in a battle of giants, cast long shadows on the ground. Trees spread Rorschach-test shadows three times their size. Bushes seemed to be perfectly twofold, with an equal part of vegetation above and on the ground. The air was so sweet and fresh that one wanted to suck it in deeply for the sheer delight of the sensation.”
Richard Dietrich Maddox's writing focuses on the search for permanent happiness, the goal of finding paradise on earth, the attainment of human Enlightenment. His work, though fiction, attempts to convey the profound spiritual Truth passed on to humanity by Enlightened Masters. Maddox approaches spiritual wisdom from a Western level of experience, presenting characters to whom readers can easily relate, offering situations in which readers might well have found themselves. His work offers, in a style which those living in the West will find understandable, the possibility of blissful existence.
