Betsy Robinson makes me laugh -- and think! Good stuff, right? (Yes!)My favorite lines: "Is she serving tea on a houseboat to anybody who makes the trek to find her? What's in that tea...and how can I drink some?"I am also a Susan Trott fan and have read --and thoroughly enjoyed -- the first two Holy Man books. I've also loved so many of her other books, some of my favorite being "Sightings" 'When Your Lover Leaves" and "The Exception".But mostly I'm with Betsy -- I'd like to make that trek and drink some holy tea on the houseboat!

I love this trilogy--have read it several times and recommended/shared it with many others. It's amazing how I need these reminders every once in awhile and how they come at the perfect moments. It's a bit disturbing that the third book was not given the editorial/printing expertise that it so richly deserves. Then I discovered that it was self-published. Being a published writer and an editor myself, it was painful at times to observe the lessened quality of the presentation of the book. The message it gave deserved so much better.

Maybe your in the dilemma of tiring to understand people in general. a high percentage of people that you meet will have he or she's in there sentience and are talking about them self so theirs your I's. you sound like a person with a good heart a pure soul that thinks deep about a persons actions they cause by there own selfishness.in most cases the suffering that we feel usually comes from the suffering of our own doing and this suffering is a pain that we inflict to help our self-growth. i was told once all people are like children when you touch a flame and burn yourself then we tend not to touch that flame again, as adults we do the same but instead of fire its with our emotions. in your deepest thoughts of suffering don't ever forget all the wonders of this world in every religion i have ever studied theirs always a cretin law wither it's you reap what you sew or karma your he's and she's and I's always project and come back as ether love kindness and forgiveness or it can come back as hate anger and retreats. action growth and time are our fertilizers in life. there's something i always have to remind myself, don't think about life so much you forget to live.
