This is a journey, a story of the Spirit. An all-consuming love for the one spirit, nurtured and made alive by the physical form of woman, captures emotions and feelings paramount to the creation of all life existing. Such is the intensity of this love, there are moments of doubt, even self-loathing, and hatred manifestation. These are when the soul darkens, the dreams fade into a dull reality; the mind is not focused on the true beauty before us and the wonders of the universe. It takes a journey through the Moonsong, a mysterious path through the dreaming and realms of the otherworld, to capture the soul once more, lighting the way and removing all self-harming thoughts, cleansing the pores of the mind. A captivation takes hold, a rebirth, as lights twinkle in the mind's eye once more, where hope reforms and love shines anew... ...behold, and enter the world of the One Spirit...
