It's been a while since I've posted a blog. Time seems to be speeding up, as we've all heard, and from what I can tell from reading about Einstein's theories, this is an actual reality. I have had so much to do recently as everything intensifies, fitting my activities within the confines of ever shrinking time, that I have had to let some things go; for instance, this blog.
But NOW my book is in PRINT, and somehow, holding a tangible physical book in my hand vs. an ebook, makes this reality more concrete. So I thought it might be prudent to say a few words about this, like...
I am just so freakin' thrilled, I can hardly believe it!!!!! (Shriek!) It's come together one step at a time and it's out there. I wrote it! I followed the signs and directions I was given by Spirit and voila--a book has been born. Like a physical child being conceived, I can barely understand the magic of how it all happened. I know I wanted it; I prayed for it; I conceived the idea (or rather it was conceived through me--I was the conduit/channel for the information in the book); then I gestated it in my literary womb, studying, learning, pulling together how to birth this baby/child of the Universe. Thankfully it was a relatively painless birth. Each step took action and belief in what I was doing, but each step was given to me. I had the choice to take it or leave it. I took it with gusto and great pleasure! And now she's here!

What an incredible experiment in the goodness of the Universe! I birthed a book! My baby is out there in the world, taking on a life of her own. I must let go of my fears for her of the judgments of others. How will she make her way? Will she reach her full potential? All I can do now is place helpful supports where I can and continue to "allow.". But ultimately she is her own being. I bless her and release her to the world! Please treat her well and enjoy what she has to impart. In gratitude~~Paula

Sunset on the highway

Chapter 9 (cont'd)

Kahotep awoke first. He examined the back of her head, admiring her bountiful curls. Unable to resist, he wrapped one of her sweaty dark ringlets around his finger. Feeling the tug on her hair, she stirred and turned over to face him, gracing him with a sleepy smile. He returned her smile and whispered in her ear so as not to break the spell too quickly. “So, my Sweet Lady, what would be your pleasure for the rest of the afternoon?”

“Well, besides you…” she traced the outline of his hand that was now resting on her breast, “I would...like to drive the shuttlecraft!” A mischievous grin adorned her face.

“Well, it seems you are awake,” he grinned back at her. “So, do you have any experience driving?”

“Absolutely none,” she answered honestly. “I’ve only ridden the public shuttlecrafts. I’ve never had an opportunity to learn to drive. But I always wanted to.”

“Well, it’s time you get some experience then. All right, Lady, I will teach you!" They jumped enthusiastically out of bed, dressed, and raced to the craft.

Akana climbed into the pilot’s seat. Her chair seemed too big for her and she could barely see up over the control panel. Kahotep joined her in the seat next to her as her co-pilot. “The first thing you need to do is to sign in,” he began, “so tell the craft your name, that you are the pilot, and then instruct it to adjust to you.”

Excitedly, she complied. “I am Akana of Atlantis,” she told the craft. “I am the pilot of this shuttlecraft. Please make adjustments to accommodate for me.”

“Welcome, Akana of Atlantis! We will make our adjustments now,” a pleasant voice from the shuttlecraft replied.

Her seat moved slightly forward then back, then to the right and left. It raised up and down then finally rested in a position that greatly improved the fit of her chair, as well as her view out the windshield. Immediately, a seatbelt closed across her lap.

“Push the green button that is lit up here on the console between us,” her co-pilot instructed. This she did. A holographic map of the area appeared at a forty-five degree angle in front of her.

“You can see where the cabin is—here.” Kahotep pointed to the three-dimensional version of the cabin. Now if you touch it thus,” he touched the image of the cabin on the map and it immediately enlarged, “you can bring it in closer. Touch it twice and it’ll return to its former size. You can do this with any part of the map. Now—where do you want to go?”

“I’d like to explore the area first, until I get used to piloting.”

“All right then, let’s map out a small path. Lightly trace the direction on the hologram where you want to go then hit the blue button on the console. This will lock in your program.”

She drew about a five mile trail around the trees in the forest then pushed the glowing blue button.

“OK, now what?”

“Now you need to use voice commands,” he said. “Tell the craft to follow your plans.”

“Please follow the path I have indicated,” she told the computer.

Gently, the craft began to rise. It slowly followed the directions that she had just mapped out. Then it gently landed back on the shuttleport.

“Well done! Now, do you want to drive without programming it first, Kana?”

“Of course. What do I do?”

“Use your voice commands to get the craft to ascend, then trace the path you want it to follow with your finger.”

“Now?”

“Sure, I think you’re ready. And I’m here to back you up.”

She took a deep calming breath. “Ascend!” she commanded.

Slowly, the craft rose up as directed. It hovered high above the shuttleport and turned southwest as Akana traced her outstretched palm through the holographic map. To speed up, she merely had to trace faster, so she experimented. The movement was a little jerky at first, but she quickly assimilated her new skill and smoothed out the ride. She let out a big hoot as she sped the vehicle around in ever tighter concentric loops.

“So you’ve never driven before, you say?” Kahotep asked in disbelief.

“Not ever, and was that a mistake!” she replied. “This is great!”

“So where are we heading, Speedster?”

She grinned. “I want to see the crystal cave.”

“Oh, nothing like a little challenge for your first flight out, is there, dear?” Kahotep laughed.

“Not at all,” she replied.

The shuttle was now heading toward the active volcano on the northeast corner of the island. She touched the map and an enlarged view appeared. She found what she was looking for—a shelf along the inside rim where they could land the craft. She decreased the size of the volcano on the map back to normal then smoothly guided the craft to a safe landing onto the ledge.

The door on the craft lifted up and they carefully emerged. After assuring themselves they were on solid ground, they both looked around. The ledge was packed down smoothly, apparently used over the years as a landing strip for others wanting access to the cave. Over the ledge, very far below, lava flowed freely. The smell of sulfur permeated the air.

They made their way to the inside edge of the rim, up against the wall of the mountain, to the opening in the cave. She had pilfered a couple of lightsticks from the craft and handed one to Kahotep.

She got on her hands and knees and easily crawled through the cave entrance. Kahotep crawled in after her. Once they made it through about a three-foot tunnel, they stood up. Their lightsticks illuminated the way as they stepped carefully down a softly sloping path. After about two hundred feet it opened up into a large cavern. Their lightsticks revealed a grotto encrusted with jeweled crystal treasures.

“Oooh, Kahotep! I’ve heard about this cave, but I never would have imagined this!”

The cave was actually a huge geode that had been formed millions of years before from cooled molten lava. The walls were thickly covered with a wondrous display of sparkling crystals. Even more astounding were the long spear strands of quartz crystals that stretched across the entire cave, each about the width of a grown man. Akana approached one to examine it more closely; she was dwarfed by its size.
