The picture above comes from a story I wrote many years ago, Warriors of the Wind, where nomads in hot air balloons fight zeppelin battle ships. A young nomad, captured by the settlers, learns to adapt to two cultures.

In another story, two men came to see a  writer and asked for his advice.  One said he couldn't sleep at night because he didn't earn enough money and was afraid not to be able to pay his bills.  The other said he couldn't sleep at night because he had invested money and was now afraid to lose it.
The writer summarized: one has a problem of too little money, the other has too much.  But that is not important.  The important thing is, will they use their problems as a springboard to change their karma and grow?
