Opis

At sunset on February 3rd, 1984, Ken Ebert endured a freak accident when the front wheel of his bicycle came off. Although nearly fatal, the accident was not the strangest thing to happen that night. As Ken's face impacted the handlebars he left this world for another. Coming to in a place of sheer darkness he soon saw a brilliant light, far off in the distance. Seeking the light he found himself in a splendorous mountain valley, alien in it's beauty, and stunning in its immediacy. There he was greeted by a celestial being of Light who in her obvious role as a guide, teacher, and friend, helped Ken to relax enough in a bizarre otherworld to make a major decision - should he return to the life he had left behind, or stay in this new place of magic and vitality? Ken chose life that night and his new friend helped him return to his broken body which lay still on the asphalt road only yards from the ocean shore. She told him he was now obligated to write about what had happened. The magic and vitality of the otherworld followed him back home as well. A journey was launched that night. Theater of Clouds is a memoir of that journey, written to fulfill a promise, and offered in the hopes of perhaps coming to the aid of someone else who might feel alien, hurt, and riddled with fear. Humor, magic, and life, all align in a confluence of celebration: a celebration of feelings, meaning, and healing. "An intense inner journey. The author brings us closer to a powerful new born clarity and wisdom after a near death deforming and transforming experience. It speaks to our fear of the unknown. Ken's experience brings life into sharper focus and renewed appreciation for life and love" Stephen and Ondrea Levine
