The Asension of the Flying Purple Caterpillar and Other Spiritual Parables is a collection of short stories that “came” to me mostly at three in the morning when most people are either sleeping or writing. I frantically recorded what I heard in my head which feels much like chasing a kite in the wind and grabbing it before it gets blown into another hemisphere. This book is composed of twelve parables that are mostly spiritual yet not religious. The last two were put into another book that is a collection of stories I wrote called The Camphor Tree Stories. These parables are very helpful, fun to read, and can be read aloud to others in a group setting.
Lara’s parables skillfully convey many of life’s important lessons:
– Be true to yourself
– You can always find all of your answers inside of yourself
– Each person has been given unique gifts that are meant to be shared with others
– Inner peace comes from letting go of all judgments and expectations
