Never Remove the Cornerstone!

Coming Soon

The book (Never Remove the Cornerstone!) referred to in this site is in the editing phase currently and the finished product promises to be remarkable.

The fact-based fiction offers an interview with a mysterious, enigmatic, middle-aged man (visitor) who could have been anyone's grandfather.  But, could he?  

The weather in the little southern county of Georgia was really as dreary as was described on that fateful New Year's morning in 2007.  

...the obnoxious sound of the mobile phone ringing can still be heard this very day.

He was born and lived in a place and time where his existence was proven (documented) genuine--some one hundred, plus years before he is interviewed.  He is a non-fictional character! 

The mystery of his being present, in Georgia in the year of 2007 has forced the author to define the writing as a "fiction".  

Our mystery visitor intrigues his interviewer over and over, offering numerous viable explanations as to how it happened in this instance.  Moreover, this strange man provides instructions for anyone, including the reader of  Never Remove the Cornerstone!, as well as the means to be visited by those who have long-ago departed. 

The visitor identifies cornerstone concepts, universally necessary for the survival of all manners of structure, which serves to support the possibility that these peculiar visits happen and they occur all the time! 

The interview, which occurred over a twelve week period, comprised of two to three visits per week, ending as mysteriously as it began, challenges one to employ the amazing gift of imagination.

Excerpts from the text are offered to stimulate imagination:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. added to the discussion of the importance of mankind by pointing out William Shakespeare’s summarization of the wonders of man in his 1959 book[1]:

"…But man, that being that God created just a little lower than the angels, is able to think a poem and write it, he’s able to think a symphony and compose it.  He’s able to imagine a great civilization and create it.  Through his amazing capacity for memory and thought and imagination, man is able to leap oceans, break through walls, and rise above the limitations of time and space.  Through his powers of memory man can have communion with the past; through his powers of imagination, man can embrace the uncertainties of the future..."
