66 poems reflect a fearless journey to unconditional love, held within a deeply felt connection between the longing self and a nearly mythical figure: Lo.
Lo appears as projection, beloved, force of nature, and metaphysical center. Her being oscillates between ethereal distance and tender presence. Moons, planets, light phenomena, currents, quantum states, sonic fields, and elemental forces of nature resonate with inner states.
At the heart is the experience of a transcendent intimacy capabable of transformation. While time stretches, matter liquefies, essence pulses, unconditional love unfolds. The longing for the Other as a reflection of one’s own existence and the simultaneous awareness of the ungraspability of this wonder.
Launching soon.
