This book consists of prose and rhymed poems which have some general distinctive characteristics in common with the author’s contemplative and emotive literature. Five major events cast dark shadows over the book: the crucifying persecution against Dr. Dahesh, the death of Dr. Dahesh’s mother, the suicide of Magda Hadad, the second World War, and the assassination of Gandhi, “the prophet of humanity.” However this dark view is counterbalanced with a bright side emanating from poems about love and nature.
