In the summer of that year, partly due to an ambitious gardening project and partly because I wasn&#8217;t sure where to go next, I stopped writing, although I continue to collect references on several topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am starting a new series on the topic of Good vs Evil and the battle that is raging in this world on a spiritual level.
