Two Books, One Journey
I am writing two books about shared realities – one grounded in the world as it is, one reaching toward what it could become. Reality is everything the brain can register. The past is not a place to live, but a compass for becoming.
I am writing two books. The first, The Path to Shared Realities, is narrative non-fiction — a walk through the world as it is, grounded in lived experience and the search for connection across cultures and distances. The second, On the Shores of Shared Realities, is a novel — my vision for what the world could become, if we choose it.
Reality, as I understand it, is not a fixed thing. It is everything we perceive: the physical world, the world inside us, what we experience through a screen or a dream or a memory. If the brain can register it, it is real. That is enough for me.
On March 28, 2026, I turn sixty-seven. The decades have passed across two continents, between languages and silences, between cultures that did not always understand each other. I do not spend much time looking back – but the past is useful, not as a mirror for nostalgia, but as a compass. It helps us understand where we stand, and what kind of person we still want to become.
