Creative writing should portray life in this world in all its variety: colourful, stimulating, intense, at times horrific and at other moments wonderful, and full of opportunities there for taking. This book relates a journey, the flowing of one life into another one. It shows how marvellous some phases of life can be, these marvels coming not merely from imagination but groundetd in reality. These special periods can occur at different stages in life. Deutsche Ausgabe erschienen als "Ein Leben vor und nach dem Tode" (ISBN 978-3-88264-651-1).
