The story spans the years from 1880 to 1997. A story of spirituality, sexuality, and reality in the most immediate moment and in the historical moment, as told by Mary, Michelle, Blaise, Cecilia, Estelle, and Melissa.
Book One, "The White Rose" from "Falling, Dancing, Flying, a trilogy" a story inspired by actual events; an allegory of a journey of Individuation. The book chronicles the Alchemical transformation of Mary Bernard and her search for enlightenment.
A deeply spiritual story taking the reader magnificently into the bright light of enlightenment, while not fearing the shadow of that light. The story looks intently at the complexities of Lesbian love and does not shy away from those complexities.
We writers paint our lives on our hearts and souls; and I was to paint the trilogy "Falling, Dancing, Flying" on my heart and my soul.
The story you will read is fiction, although inspired by actual events, no real person is depicted. With this said, the trilogy was written in response to one glorious year of falling in love.
My year of falling in love finally turned to stone, a heart stone, which had to be enveloped within me. It was the only way that I could survive the utter devastation of knowing that she would never be mine...ever...no matter the distance, the space, or the time...she would never be mine.
It has been many years now since we had our time of love.
I love her still.
I thank her, my muse, for our great and passionate journey, and I send her my eternal devotion.
Is it well with thee...my love?
