The Blurb
When four ten yen coins are mysteriously
received, who knows where the journey will lead and what miracles may occur
along the way.
For many years, the monk sat beside the Ajiike
pond as he did today in the early morning, breathing in the peaceful settings
of the Pure Land gardens........He was angry at the awful atrocities so
recently bestowed upon his people....
Caitlin was ambitious to the point of
ruthlessness.........
JJ was counting on getting a job at Johns
Hopkins......he had to get out of Ashland KY and his fathers house before he
blew his stack......
Little Tommy....He glanced again at the coin
beside his hospital bed and felt suddenly peaceful.....Like maybe everything
would be ok.......
Paul Somerville....Tommys father, former
Hollywood actor, wannabe political star.......
Four people....four ten yen coins....
and a miracle.........?
Ten Yen True - Excerpt
Surely Caitlin Morgan's day couldn't get any worse? When she stepped out of the offices of Gorman Hardy Investment Bank on Moorgate, the heavens opened and the rain poured down. Cursing wearily under her breath, Caitlin delved in her new Birkin bag for her umbrella; pulling out keys, purse, make up and tissues (thankfully un-used), but to her dismay, no umbrella."Blast," she muttered, beginning to run to the empty bus shelter just outside her office building. Unlike her, most people had, at ten pm on a Friday night, gone home to enjoy the weekend. Or else they were crammed into the many bars around the city of London, enjoying a well-earned drink at the end of a tough working week.Not me though, she mused, opening her purse to look for change for the bus. No, she would be heading straight home with just the prospect of a hot bath and a good book as her only bed companion. Not that she minded. She actually had no time for any kind of socializing anyway, and besides, why would she want to spend time with work colleagues on a Friday evening? Didn't she see enough of those idiots during the week?
Christina and Amanda are awarding an 8 x 8 inch framed tile of Japanese Gardens in Seattle Washington to a randomly drawn commenter throughout their tour. So comment below!
Who are Christina and Amanda?
Christina
St. Clair
Award
winning author, former shop-girl, chemist, and pastor, is currently a spiritual
director, Reiki Master (don't read too much into the title master!), wife,
animal lover, and writer.
She
says, "Boring life? Let's not do duty. Let's do awe! Take a look at your
own complexity? You might be amazed. Life leads us into so many interesting and
sometimes difficult crossroads where we get to choose what now, what next? As a
student of mysticism and spirituality in all its incarnations both religious,
secular, and new age, I want to understand what life is about, what is truth? I
am still seeking, but I am offering to those who are interested my insights
weaved throughout my essays and stories. I hope my writings might add to your
already surprising lives."
