isthood. In a world grown top-heavy with ego and intellect, these poems explore reintegration with the heart and soul that modern culture has undervalued in pursuit of scientific and technological advancement. This is a critical junction in history when governments and corporations insist on technologies that invade people's very bodies, ostensibly for the sake of safety and connection. The Word proposes a richer connection: a divine marriage between individuals reflecting the marriage of the heavens and the earth. "We wreathe the world with golden-glimmering ribbons, ribbons endless as our wedding rings." Prepare for the new days and a new way of living in the world.
