This is a little different story than my usual fare. I have made comments on many different things. Religion and tolerance. The Paranormal and the psychic. Coal mining and energy. A story about a man whose life begins to open up into areas he never dreamed of, he being doubtful at times and of finding rewards at the end. He is given the chore of returning the 450 year old remains of a Spanish monk to Spain.
