Sand Soldier

Life is not a circle...it's a spiral. You come back to not where you were, but a place that has familiarity. Arny Woods' earliest and fondest memory was in playing soldiers in the sandbox in the back yard. He was too young to see the cycle return in high school, but the shock of combat at D Day opened his eyes.What is deja vu, but a sense of having been somewhere before. The subconscious forgets nothing and can recreate every sense received by the central nervous system (except for pain...that's forgotten; had to be, or women would give birth only once otherwise). In Sand Soldier, patterns that began as a child are found to repeat twice more in later life, each time having deeper, and more dangerous, circumstances. Are they deepening of lessons started as a preschooler, or repeated warnings to change his path before it's too late?
