The above word button should take you to my archive site dragonofcompassion.com 

where I store my free to read online books like "Memories" and sequels. Most of the things written at my archive site are interrelated in some way or other. 

Basically, everything I write could be called, "The Universe According to Fred's Lifetime of Experiences".

But like the story I often like to tell which is a true one of the native American likely in the early 1800s before settlers moved into his area of the U.S. :

The native American saw a man playing a piano because the wagon had broken a wheel so the man played the piano in the broken wagon as something to do while he passed the time waiting to get it fixed. But since the Native American had never see either a wagon or a piano or could speak English this is what he told his family when he returned to them. None of them had ever seen a white man or knew anything about european or White american Culture. The native American told his family, " The thing screamed when the white man pushed on it's teeth. It made a terrible sound like moaning every time he pushed on the teeth of the black thing. I don't know what kind of animal it was (the piano and wagon) but it made a truly fearsome sound. But it was very strange because the man was smiling while he beat upon the teeth of the wailing thing."

Obviously, I'm paraphrasing all this. But this is an actual story I heard while studying Anthropology at UCSC in 1989 and 1990. 

Just like this native American many of the subjects I write about are my actual experiences. But until you have experiences like I write about in my books you will have to take my stories like  we all now do of "the screaming of the black thing while he pushed on the keys". Though I have had many amazing experiences in all contexts in my life I leave it to you in the future to further make sense in a cultural sense of what I'm actually talking about. You will be able to stand upon my shoulders and to go further in your research than I did. That is what being human is all about, we are always growing and learning new and amazing things!
