Hajni Blasko asked Rich Flanders:

What would you like readers to take away from your story?

Rich Flanders

Inspiration! Trust your heart and the flow of life, rekindle the sense of wonder, listen to that faint voice within. When you live with your heart open you will sometimes be hurt, but you will also experience great joy and fulfillment. And when you live that way, luck also seems to find you, to fall in love with you.

My story is a spiritual odyssey, a fast current of adventures in the West, in India, on the Gaza Strip, on Broadway, in a ‘’close encounter,’' full of great risks, narrow escapes, humor, tragedy, mystical synchronicities, and great love. Through it all you see a guy wide open to life, carrying through with a sense of wonder and adventure, always asking, ‘’what happens next?’’

There are moments in life when you have to take a giant leap of faith, or you stay in your current state. I wrote the book during the dark days of the pandemic, yet I found so much light and laughter in my story. If you keep that childlike wonder, trusting your heart, trusting the flow of life, ready to leap into the currret, the universe will present opportunities, if we’re open to them.

You can continue to come of age, at any age.
