Line from my book that also happens to be a quote...

"There is not just light inside us, we are light. But as we live and go through this world we often allow anger, greed, and lies to cover and corrupt us. We allow ourselves to harbor darkness and sometimes we even welcome it. This is not right, do not allow the darkness to overwhelm and consume you. Do not hide yourself and your potential. Do not belittle yourself to make others feel good. Do not cower in the corner because you are afraid to shine. Embrace the peace, compassion, and truth that is light, as it is your right to do so. And when you do, you will know wonders beyond imagination.”

-A.S.

Here is a small unedited excerpt from Page 3 of Volume One "Red Skylight."

- "The lightning comes down, but not just one or two strikes, but several. I collect them in my arms like collecting drops of water into a bucket. Each strike is more powerful and rich than the last. I collect them all, untamed and wild. The energy is moving all throughout my body, I take a deep breath then focus my movements and try controlling this raw power. I close my eyes and breathe in and out, focusing all my thoughts on this singular purpose. After a few moments of concentrating I open my eyes then motion my arms to stop moving, and as I do this the Lighting does the same. I now command it all to move with the movement of my arms. I conduct this powerful force, like a composer does and orchestra. I begin moving it in circles then over my shoulders and back. After a while I decide to get a little more creative and form it into any kind of shape I can think of. I do this until I have built up a large amount of power and control, then I let it all go at once, straight above me. It launches up through the clouds causing them to flash violently yet beautifully, as more lighting is drawn to this great power I just released."
