“The fog began to crawl up the sides of the mountains, licking up in tongue shapes, here and there. Less dense patches floated up the flanks of the rock, looking like waterfalls or ghosts splayed out in abandon. The cottony softness of the white fog utterly blotted out the sharp, hard outlines of the gray prominences of quartz, granite, and gneiss. Mother Nature had tucked in her stony child, laid a comforting blanket atop his ungainly limbs, and sent him off to sleep.”
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.
