Transformation, as it is used in this book of short stories, means a radical and complete change from existing according to taught conditioned thought to being the nature of the universe itself. It is what happens when a cocoon becomes a caterpillar, a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. It is what happens when a tadpole becomes a frog, or an embryo becomes a human being. It is a process of change, which by its nature takes a completely different direction from where or what it was before. Every stage of transformation entails a complete leaving, or letting go of, what was, in order to become what it is. This process may be seen as a path, rather than a destination, for it is an endless process of change. This book of short stories came out of being on the path of transformation. I have been on this path for many years. I was an English teacher for about 30 years.
