The book I wrote and the book you read are entirely different books. Each story represents some experience, some memory, some idea, some feeling that is uniquely mine, but these words will trigger totally different memories, ideas, and feelings in you. Maybe you will be inspired to write your thoughts and feelings, too. No one can write your stories but you. In a few years, I look forward to reading each one. “The Lizard Way” is one of my stories that you will find here. It is perhaps the most significant. I think that you may discover that you have many lizard ways of your own. So get a cup of coffee, a glass of tea, a glass of wine, or whatever helps you to relax. Settle down in a comfortable chair and enjoy my journey. I know writing these stories has been one of the best parts of my pilgrimage. To quote a friend of mine who says this often as he starts his truck, “Here we go.”
