It's simple, really.
We are like kites. The vertical stick of the kite of your Genius runs between yourself and the spiritual world where you get your inspirations and insights. The horizontal stick runs between us to our family and community.
We bend or arc these sticks through our efforts or experiences so that our kite can not just survive in the headwinds of life, but gain lift and rise up. We can fine-tune the airfoil of our lives to withstand even greater headwinds.
The secret is that the kite of you, of your Genius, is connected with many others — friends, family, or workplace. When you rise, you lift them, too.
How does this book help?
The question for many of us is, what is it that gives us lift? Or, why am I spinning out of control? Or feeling dragged down with no lift?
The key to self-understanding is to take a brief moment of reflection.
Each chapter in this book offers you the opportunity to read one or another of the short essays or intense creative nonfiction pieces (meaning “quick reads”). They are about the struggles of life. They may be different than your life, but considering them by contrast or comparison changes your thinking and offers a very brief moment of clarity.
The purpose of this book is to give you brief moments of self-reflection so you can re-connect to the Genius in you that first inspired you. These moments, even though very brief, can give lift to your soul, energize your passions, inspire you to new actions. We'll talk about how we do this next.

CHRISTMAS SHEPHERDS stories – These are “shepherdly-simple” retellings of old stories along the lines of the “Uberufer Shepherd's Plays”, a cycle of religious plays which have been in continuous production since the 16th or 17th Century.
I came across these plays when my kids were in Waldorf schools. These plays have been traditionally performed at Waldorf / Steiner schools around the world. In addition, I have had the occasion to act in productions of these plays for many years. When my kids graduated, I lost contact with the productions.
So, in an effort to re-kindle the Christmas stories in an old, culturally simplistic form, I have written them as a part of the annual cycle of my blog at www.threesimplequestions.blogspot.com and now they are available in book form.
Part 1 - The Shepherds make their way to Bethlehem to sell their sheep to pay for taxes. They pass the time complaining about taxes, drinking wine and dancing to stay warm. An Angel appears and send them to Bethlehem to find a child.
Part 2 - A surly Innkeeper sends the Shepherds off with a kick and a curse and puts Mary and Joseph in his stable. He takes in only people with “money in purse.”
Part 3 – The Stable, Mary and Joseph. Joseph worries about the taxing day. A Child of Light is born in the darkness.
Part 4 - the Conclusion of this shepherdly-crude retelling of the Christmas story. The Shepherds are visited by the Angel and go to the Stable. They give their gifts to The Child and wonder why He is born in such a poor place.
Innocence Slain By Power – The Three Magi and King Herod.
It is a joy to read the old-old story written as a simple tale once a year. The characters are simple folk. This year, however, the final chapter about Herod slaying the children is shockingly like the Gaza tragedy.
AN ENERGIZING WAY TO TAKE A BREAK AND TALK ABOUT POLITICS
MORALIC ACID Truth & Satire MORALIC CATALYST
READING MORALIC ACID Truth & Satire MORALIC CATALYST is like taking a “coffee break” with someone you don’t know well, and they feel obliged to introduce themselves and share small “slices of their life.”
Each slice is written in the "Who am I", "Why am I here", and "What do I want" format. And, the "slices" are masterfully crafted without needing page after page of extra words to get the author's intended thought-provoking points across.
The format took me by surprise. Like chatting over a cup of coffee about the stuff of everyday life in which we live. Except, each chapter/slice reveals the unseen, allegorical, emotional, and mystical as well as the hidden technologies, and actions corporations hide.
Yeager's writing is easy and conversational, and I often felt as though he were actually in the room conversing and, sometimes, pontificating, but always in a non-confrontational, honest, and wryly humorous way. It is an energizing way to take a break.
Like the last election, this is about "keeping the subjects loyal and united." How does the wannabe Leaders use the media? They makes us feel fear that we will lose control if they is not elected. The "reasons" for the January 2023 Insurrection are still in play and we are reminded of them as part of the election process. Sample 20% at SMASHWORDS https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/529903

This is a question only those of us who studied the "behind the scenes" working of the technology of advertising, broadcast and today's computer media would ask.

Matter of fact, it is something those of us who were the first generation in media / advertising writer / producers never wanted parents to hear about. this is why I unplugged my TV set five years after my odest child was born (at the height of my media career).

My wife is a great person. We've been married over 40 years. Ever since I've known her, she has been late. On the other hand, I was born prematurely. I run early to everything. we "help" one another find balance. So, I have been aware of time all my life. But, who is this being in our world that causes time awareness, and why? Other than seasons, sun and moon, timekeeping actually didn't come in to human awareness until the 1800s when "efficiency' was invented. I'm going back to "keeping time" by a calendar, not a watch.
Charles Darwin's brain had an education filled with art, music, poetry, nature and Shakespeare. He played lots of games when he was young, lots of jokes and laughter. Wait a minute! That sounds like a Waldorf / Steiner School education! Who knows what the genius of your child will become?! Unfortunately, life and the habitual thinking of science ruined Darwin's brain. Looks like play is necessary at every age.
How do we know that humans do not return to a "death" pool from which they will fertilize a new soul and then die? I know that when I swim at the Therapy Pool many of us geezers wonder why our ministers do not tell us what to expect. A friend of mine was dying and I asked him if he was ready. He was shocked. No one had ever told him there was a process to dying. http://www.th3simplequestions.com
"A friend and former shipmate of mine and I, both of us old pirates on the sea of life did not pass quietly as ships do sometimes in the night.

It was genuine, problematic intimacy." 7/21/15 - NEW BLOG POST - "OLD PIRATES OF THE HEART" - http://www.threesimplequestions.blogspot.com

GOODREADS REVIEW: "Th3 Simple Questions - Slice Open Everyday Life by Mr. Jean W. Yeager. Honestly I have been in a slump for awhile when it comes to reading books until I got my hands on this one... let's just say this amazing book found me and I am ecstatic that it did. The style of short essays or "slices" each with the "Who am I", "Why am I here", and "What do I want", format took me by surprise as it was an energizing way to read and process thought provoking concepts with each "slice" only being a few pages long and the analogies were artfully presented as real life experiences that most anyone can relate to. My favorite slice was Dandelion Wine: Alchemical Batting Practice as I fully immersed myself into this "slice" with my own imagery which I could completely relate to as it left me with the warmth of sunshine still in my mind. All of the "slices" were masterfully crafted without needing page after page of extra words to get the author's intended thought provoking points across. Mr. Jean - Willie Mays would have been impressed as you hit this one "out of the park" worth reading more than once...... 5 Stars Many Thanks :=} Mark Krausman >>>
"Bread from the corn, corn from the light, light from the countenance of God, the fruit of the Earth out of God shines, let there be light in this Heart of Mine." That's one of my favorite a table graces. WHAT FEEDS US is a chapter from TH3 SIMPLE QUESTIONS: Slices Open Everyday Life.
The midnight shift from Detroit, Dusseldof, Detroit, to Kathmandu... very tough. I used to work it, loading trucks. Got to develop an inner life. The three simplequestions help.
We are making this year's Dandelion Wine. In the depth of winter, we will drink sunshine transformed by flowers into golden petals, picked by me and transformed by yeast into wine. Then we transform the wine into great joy and appreciation. May your days be filled with transformation of your inner light into life!
Last year the TV program, MAD MEN, featuring the truly deceptive character of Dan Draper, has theoretically ended. It is a pity that deception will not end - it is a way of life for us, I fear.

Toward the end of his life Sir Charles Darwin lamented the fact that he could no longer think as he once did because of "repetitive thinking injury" - too little joy and playfulness, poetry and Shakespeare. I've let his brain explain.
