Introduction | Esther Bradley-DeTally, Baha'i, writing teacher, and lover of pugs is the author of Without A Net: A Sojourn in Russia. YOU CARRY THE HEAVY STUFF, her latest book,reflects the personal: desolation of the office cubicle, illness, recovery, university life as a returning student, and being a twin. YOU CARRY THE HEAVY STUFF relates themes of grist for the mill, been there, done that, and what’s next, which pops up either in just plain gutsy ways, with an occasional touch of buoyant pathos. Concern for social justice and racial justice as well as a view as to politicians cavorting ways do not miss her comments. Esther has a sideways' view of our planet which lurches to tilt and melt with the ease of butter spitting on a hot black skillet. Within the pages of You Carry the Heavy Stuff the reader will find spiritual observations as well as lip-smacking good descriptions of falafels at the Mercaz in Haifa, Israel. |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
When the creature and I know it's time to go back to our own worlds, after we have talked about planetary unity.
