Not many babies are travelling, Part 1, Chapter 21

"Not many babies are travelling these days."

Part 1, Chapter 21, page 96

Emergency

Curiously, the soldiers are inspecting the baby on the tarmac of the Kindu airport. That is history. But in my symbolic world, these soldiers or warriors are saluting the inner child, our creative energy, our inner fountain of love. I am giving to each warrior a name like sorrow, pain, jealousy, envy, vanity, guilt, hate, regrets, righteousness. They are surrounding the baby. They want to be touched by its love in order to be healed, since they are hurting. The warriors are the negative aspects that arise in us and are parts of our psyche that want to be  made whole.

"Love does not exist"

 

The List

 

 Part 1 Chapter 9

 

The crescent of the moon, silvery and sparkling, has sunk onto the earth among flowers and grass. The sickle has become the extension of man’s anger. The sickle cuts off the flowers of love, since this man says “Love does not exist.”  Does he really believe it or has he other reasons to say so? His opinion doesn’t change the fact that everything on this earth and in this universe is an expression of love.

Although convinced that love does not exist, he doesn’t destroy the roots of the flowers of love. They sparkle in great intensity. Therefore the flowers of love will grow again and maybe by then he will appreciate their existence.

Another Review by Danielle B. :

I just finished reading your amazing book (I started it yesterday). I was seriously hooked from your first two words:  Making love. Wow, what a start to a book that is inspirational, mesmerizing, troubling, raw, mystical, fascinating, insightful, hopeful, sad, deeply personal: there are not enough words to say how I was touched by you. I enjoy a book sometimes for the writing, sometimes for the story, lucky if I have both in the same book. I had both in abundance with yours (the writing is wonderful as well as the story); however, the added bonus of the art is just marvelous. In each chapter I kept going back to the art several times: it added dimension, joy and depth to each. ..."
