Editor's Note:
"THE BARBIZON DIARIES, Book Two of The Meditations (after DRAWING OUT THE DRAGONS) has been a very difficult book to write. It's not overlong, and it isn't very complex. But it contains, as did the earlier book, a lot of very hard, very simple truths. Truths that have been hard-earned - and are therefore the most valuable, and the most worth sharing. "It was meant to come out sooner than it will; but everything happens for a reason. DRAWING OUT THE DRAGONS had to come first; and now that it is loose in the world, readers will be better prepared for THE BARBIZON DIARIES. As with the earlier book, it is both motivating and, I hope, inspiring. And as with DotD, the seeds of every triumphant moment are sown in the soil of what seemed to be my darkest hours. "The subheading of my website for Coppervale (my Studio & company name) says, "Building a Personal Mythology", which is what all of us are doing every moment we're alive. Our lives are stories; mythologies. And mythologies are huge, sweeping things. And the grandest of those stories are those with the widest arcs of triumph and despair. As much as we may want to, we may not be able to avoid the despair - but triumph is a matter of will. Will, and the ability to keep hold of an existential sense of joy, of hope, and the sure knowledge that, as James Allen said so wisely and well, circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him."
