Triples, Trios, and Triads Volume 2 comprises about 800 short articles and 600 art pieces and photographs collected and annotated since 2020. The author grew up in Baltimore in the 1940s-1950s, studied physics, took the "Journey to the East," lived in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco in the late 1960s, made free-form geodesic sculpture in a loft in the Soho neighborhood of Manhattan, walked along the pilgrimage trail by the Ganges River in the Himalayas, and taught in colleges in the Bay Area, New York, South Thailand, and South India. He also drove a cab in Manhattan and worked in his father's hardware store. Topics in the book include gleanings from the wisdom traditions, American history and politics, Buddhist ideas, Celtic triads, culture, European history, music, religion, science, problems with capitalsm and Western Philosophy. The author invites his readers to take their time with the content, to meander, ponder, consider, contemplate, meditate, laugh, and enjoy. The items have been brought together under the conceptual umbrella of "three." But there is no numerical mysticism intended, for as Sri Muruganar, the great Tamil poet and disciple of the sage Ramana Maharshi, wrote, "This world of triads appears only in the mind like the illusory ring of fire formed in darkness by whirling the point of a glowing rope-end." In the Celtic tradition, we find the triad- "Three types of men do not understand women: young men, middle-aged men, and older men." Shakespeare gives us this triple: "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."What is this book about? Why it's about meandering, pondering, considering, contemplating, meditating, laughing, and enjoying. Please remember what Robert Benchley said at quotations.com. "A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down," and what Rupert Spira said on Youtube.com, "If we wanted to speak the truth about the nature of consciousness, experience, and reality, we would have to remain silent." The apparent triple: world, soul, and God merges into the oneness of the Self when the ego dissapears. Ramana is always saying that the triples are an illusion.

Fifteen years ago, Gina "Spooky" Smith met Lachlan Campbell as the proud leader of a SEAL squad. He saved her life, stole her heart...and walked away. Four years ago, Gina searched for that same man and instead found Lachlan on the floor of a bar. She picked him up, dusted him off, and started him back on the road to the man he once was before a devastating betrayal took it all away. Three years ago, Lach and Gina started the high-class executive protection agency Watchdog Security that provided cover to continue a mission started long ago--stop a murderous cohort of billionaires with a dark, secret plan to dominate the world. Two years ago, Gina ran afoul of the black ops CIA cell funding Watchdog. One month ago, the cell decided to 'retire' her. Now she's on the run. Yesterday, Lachlan found Gina in the nick of time. Today, their enemies will learn what it means to cross Watchdogs protecting their own. Note from author Olivia Michaels: While all my books are standalone romances with HEA's, I strongly suggest reading the previous book in the Watchdog Security Series - More Than Rumors - to fully understand and get the most out of Gina and Lach's story.
