Nothing Is Predictable
by Adalina Mae
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Autobiographical Novel - Memoir - AutoFiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Zara is eight years old, her father, in a drunken rampage,
accidentally shoots himself dead.
Her
childhood memories leave her struggling with romantic attachments and hinder
her from developing healthy relationships.
Seeking
answers, She meets a monk for wisdom, and a gypsy for insight.
The
journeys Adalina Mae takes us on are interspersed with heartbreaking moments as
well as hilarious escapades.
This
is life and nothing is predictable. The story keeps you on your toes and offers
mysteries to solve.
Why does Zara have recurrent nightmares of her last night with
her father?
Why does she
struggle with love?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“Please,
try your best, then when you are ready, come to the pavilion and find me. This
discussion is not over. I need you to do this first, okay?” She stood up,
nodded humbly, and started walking down the hill.
“Don’t
forget, drop it like a sack of potatoes, and focus on your breathing!” she
called back politely.
She
wanted me to grasp the moment, and to focus on cultivating the art of a
controlled mind, to increase wisdom and mental awareness. In return, that
should give me the ability to focus on my childhood years with controlled
thoughts that would no longer affect my emotions, if I learnt to have empathy
and to forgive.
“Oh
God, how on earth am I going to forgive? Okay, let’s try,” I mumbled to myself.
“Drop
it like a sack of potatoes, drop it like a sack of potatoes, sack of potatoes,
potatoes. Oh my God, I feel like French fries.” Clearly, meditating about the
sack of potatoes wasn’t helping. I tried again, closed my eyes and began to
focus on my breathing. Then I took myself back to my childhood years to try to
find a way to forgive all that had happened to me. I failed endlessly with that
task; a minute of silence seemed like an hour. I kept getting distracted,
thinking about French fries and what bills I’d forgotten to pay.
