THE REVIEW
It aligns painful awareness with a suffering that is accepted and transformed without pity. A strength in understanding that everything that happens to us contributes to our evolution, that the bewilderment of life in the face of eternity makes the bruises we have suffered fade.
Strong stories diluted in rose water, lullabies that cradle you like the childhood rocking horse, frenzied spurts of adrenaline that teeter madness, a psychic acoustics that illuminates all the recesses of our matryoshkas, divine friendship, compassion in recounting bloodstained acceptances.
Without mercy, without hope, a total confession, there is no more despair, the sky is clear, the darkness dissolved. From ugly ducklings to swans, we are in good company on this lake...
