Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although his seeking to accomplish great things in the goal of the "American dream" is fallen before his eyes, there is a meaning which is new. As he faces the truth before him, a kind of cosmic connection grows more apparent in his awareness. He finds new ways of being, and a mindfulness in expression that does work for his life anyway. While he may never be and Admiral in the US military, he feels a growing awareness of his leadership as his ideal of being an Astronaut become more clear to him. And his resistance to advice on how to be "a man" has kept his friendship and good relations with others in the arts who are also non-conformist to antiquated ways of dealing with their humanity. He sees a bigger dream that he understood as a teenager, and he lives well in the shadow of his dreams.
