<strong>the</strong> chaotic, swirling energy around us can be interpreted as quagmires<br />

of death and depressi<strong>on</strong>—or as opportunities for life and<br />

learning. And now, many years after I penned <strong>the</strong> introducti<strong>on</strong> to<br />

<strong>the</strong> first editi<strong>on</strong> of <str<strong>on</strong>g>When</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Can</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Walk</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Water</strong>, <strong>Take</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Boat</strong>, I<br />

am h<strong>on</strong>ored to have been asked <strong>on</strong>ce again to serve as <strong>the</strong> “host”<br />

who stands at <strong>the</strong> portal of this unique and fascinating work--and I<br />

am more eager than ever to invite new readers to explore its<br />

depths and w<strong>on</strong>ders.<br />

Just as we all love <strong>the</strong> thrill of discovery, I am certain that<br />

we would all like to meet some remarkable sage like <strong>the</strong> mysterious<br />

Gide<strong>on</strong>, whom John, our narrator encounters within <strong>the</strong> pages<br />

of this book. And that, of course, is <strong>the</strong> timeless enchantment of an<br />

extended allegory such as <str<strong>on</strong>g>When</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>You</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Can</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Walk</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Water</strong>...Through<br />

<strong>the</strong> magic of entering <strong>the</strong> visi<strong>on</strong> that John Harricharan has translated<br />

<strong>on</strong>to <strong>the</strong>se pages, we may each of us join him <strong>on</strong> a spiritual<br />

pilgrimage that will lead us to <strong>the</strong> goal of higher awareness and<br />

greater enlightenment.<br />
