My Solution to the Secret of Life:

I’veenjoyed a long, useful and relative happy life. I’ve found that thebest way to deal with great tragedy and loss is with great faith and ahardy sense of humor. When that fails, resort to sheer, downright,biting-the-bullet bravery.

There is no real secret to life,but the key to happiness is to do what you love; love what you do; and,if you just have to stick your head up someone’s butt, make sure itisn’t your own.

Music helps, especially the music inside yourheart that you hear inside your head. Never, ever let them take awaythe music in your heart. That’s your song. Avoid doctors and lawyersif you can and lie about your pain, even to yourself. No one likes agriper, not even God.

Oh yeah, learn to forget; it makes iteasier to forgive. What you don’t remember doesn’t hurt you. If youwere supposed to keep seeing what’s behind you, your eyes would be inthe back of your head. If you just can’t let it go, talk about it tosomeone, or write about it, just to get it off your chest so you canstart living in the present.

Smile and laugh a lot. It takesless energy and keeps you from looking like an idiot. When folks seeyou smiling they think you know something they don’t and avoidburdening you with their negativity.

If you do all the above you probably won’t live any longer but you’ll be happier, so it’s worth a shot.

Description

After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean. Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions. These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “the Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom. But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.
