Résumé :
Orb is a mind journey. She is a vehicle that is constructed to elevate the norms of human consciousness. This book is written by and within an individual through a metamorphosis of a profound life journey. This female has created her own universe of emotions, through the art of poetry and story-telling. To guide you along paths of understanding, she has punctuated these with vignettes of reality, as well as make-believe and the humour of a child. These vignettes are shadows that will materialise into their full-form within the pages of two forthcoming books. Orb. Genesis of Hemispheres, is the first of the trilogy 'Orbs of Illuminations'. This book shines light upon moments within the writer's life at specific cross-roads. Its style is simplistic, without need for elaborate grammar. A journey that takes its reader as passenger with the wish of remembering their challenging journeys, but understanding why they were given. Here the poetry speaks with an ancient accent, one that has a haunting tone, so that they carry important messages within. Children are the life-blood sentiment for this author, as you will see, they are the lights in which to illuminate those lives they choose to enlighten. Her book has been brought into this hemisphere so that it can become a source of universal consciousness. Orb carries all that wish to travel within her sphere. Her dream is to heal....
