Venice stands, as she loves to tell you, on the frontiers of the east and west, half-way between the setting and the rising sun.

Xenophon's The Art of Horsemanship is a highly unusual text in the corpus of Classical Greek literature. It is a short survey on the various aspects of care for horses as seen by a highly experienced rider from the 5th century BCE. It is particularly notable because so many of its observations are relevant to the modern rider. Xenophon, friend of Socrates and professional soldier, is best known as the author Anabasis, the vivid account of a failed military expedition deep into Persia.

It is 2056. Mathematics professor Elisabeth Gabai is fascinated by multi-dimensional forms that have no equivalent in reality. Then, her boss sends her to the site of an artifact that might have come straight from her theories—or from the technology of an advanced civilization.

Doch die Realität ist trostlos.

You already know what matters most. You just never seem to finish it. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you lack discipline. But because every day, the urgent cuts the line. By the time you answer the emails, sit through the meetings, and solve everyone else’s problems, the work that actually matters is still sitting there: unstarted or half-finished. Busy feels like progress. It isn’t. FASTER fixes that. Everyone is busy. The overwhelmed and the effective share the same goal: get more done. So busyness cannot be the difference. The difference is structure.

In 2017, I sat on a bench at Harry Edwards healing sanctuary, closed my eyes and I heard a voice, I asked a question in my own mind about Spiritual healing and this voice said, "I'm not the Divinity, but I am a voice connected to the Divinity", such a profound statement to begin with. From that moment, began a dialogue between myself and who I believe is Harry Edward's. I began to write all that dialogue up over the next three years and the conversations continue in the present day.
