Meditations with and without medication

As a sequel to "A Trip to the Palace", this imaginative construction or narrative follows the journey of man who seeks love, fueled by the believe that such love would mean the materialization of the Messianic Age here on earth. Whether deluded or true, the story is told in very real terms. Then follows another story, seemingly unrelated to the first. In fact, on a deeper reading there is a link. It is precisely Vladamir's idealism and Peter's search for the Crown that militates against violence and thence the ushering in of a better world.
