Throughout the changing experiences of life, however, the opportunity to become one's own co-creator in life is possible when experienced through wholeness. In his first two books--Heaven's Climbing Tower and Seven Keys, a meditation guide, and Ghostly Lovers, a novel--this premise appears. Wholeness weaves beneath plot and character, pushes from behind, pulls ahead, and inevitably leads to discovery and actualization. What is personally anticipated is often plunged into greater depths, and what so often seems improbable can rise out of the ashes with unlikely courage. All the while, another side draws near within the mysterious balancing process of wholeness, and too often is seen as deadly through the eyes of too much fear or one-sidedness.
No one wants to live life halfway, and all of life does not want half a person. In the process of movement towards wholeness, personal intentions are often skewed by perspectives from another side. As the humorist states, If you want to see God laugh, then tell him your plans. The same could be true if you want to see God weep.
As a consummate storyteller, Hardy draws upon fifty years of professional experience in juvenile court, general and psychiatric hospital, parish ministry, and business settings. His writing develops out of sanctuaries of listening, emerges by witnessing courage overcome fear, and chronicles outcomes that evidence strength rising out of unlikely despair or strengths being humbled.
In encounters with another side of deadly is the enthralling spectacle for storytelling that Hardy knows and weaves into the characters of Thor, Deanne, Rachael, Colonel and Julianne, Ecuadorian children, Presidential administration, and secret societies. Cool steel can have a heart. Feminine resolve can raise others to attention. Growing up requires hands-free vision. Aristocracy reaches into the underworld. Democratic leadership harbors back-corridor alternatives.
Either way, Hardy is fascinated by how a story uses particular talents and inspiration for expression, and how a story attracts interest and aspiration.in readers. In this case he encourages you to peer around another side of what is considered deadly...and by participation find glimpses of co-creation. Death, too, is an experience that leads to another side, if one will follow the lead that comes with life.view less
