The Kite of Your Genius Lifts Your Community

By Jean W. Yeager

It's simple, really.
We are like kites. The vertical stick of the kite of your Genius runs between yourself and the spiritual world where you get your inspirations and insights. The horizontal stick runs between us to our family and community.
We bend or arc these sticks through our efforts or experiences so that our kite can not just survive in the headwinds of life, but gain lift and rise up. We can fine-tune the airfoil of our lives to withstand even greater headwinds.
The secret is that the kite of you, of your Genius, is connected with many others — friends, family, or workplace. When you rise, you lift them, too.
How does this book help?
The question for many of us is, what is it that that gives us lift? Or, why am I spinning out of control? Or feeling dragged down with no lift?
The key to self-understanding is to take a brief moment of reflection.
Each chapter in this book offers you the opportunity to read one or another of the short essays or intense creative nonfiction pieces (meaning “quick reads”). They are about the struggles of life. They may be different than your life, but considering them by contrast or comparison changes your thinking and offers a very brief moment of clarity.
They are not about fantasy, fiction, or romance; they are about your life.
There is no set order, and you can return to any one of the others any time you wish.
It is as simple as that.
Sail on!

Jean W. Yeager- PERSONAL BIO A profile in our local newspaper;RUTLAND HERALD, March 2016 by Joanna Tebbs-Younghttps://www.rutlandherald.com/news/yeager-asking-not-so-simple-questions/article_2b9350e2-54dc-5c4d-971d-7d4eafdbc4fd.html“Jean Yeager is a deep thinking, dry-humored, spiritually-minded, and fabulously uniquewriter. His subject choices are often unusual and his metaphors are always creative. He makes connections between things many would never think of (for example, I recall in one writing session he wrote about a ‘gravel pit wound”’.”“But best of all, he’s an incredibly likable man....”“Yeager, born and raised in Texas, began writing as a teenager. He eventually got into advertising for major corporations, including McDonalds, 7-Eleven, and Coca-Cola, for which he won awards. He even wrote a film for then President Ronald Reagan.”“In his mid-forties, he left the advertising business and became a consultant of socially- progressive nonprofits. He and his wife moved to Rutland in 2008 after retiring from his job as Executive Director of a nonprofit in Ann Arbor, Michigan.My wife Marietta and I are practicing Quakers and are very active the Rutland, VT community restorative justice work. I conduct adult education courses classes in Rudolf Steiner’s Six Subsidiary Exercise and an Introduction to Biography class in my local jail.
