• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A love song in three movementsAs If Fire Could Hide Us explores the expansiveness of consciousness and compassion through and beyond the human body.A twelve-year-old girl slips out a basement window, steals a bike, and sets off on a perilous adventure. Injured and slowly bleeding out, Orelia enters a vast, spectacularly animate environment where she senses the limits of self disintegrating, her being entangled with the forest.A prison guard and member of the strap down team witnesses a painfully prolonged execution and is delivered to a heart-cracking sense of identification with the ones he's killed. Every grieving mother is his own. Any man might be himself, his closest friend, his brother.An organ donor's body is restored and resurrected through the bodies of multitudes. Spiritually and physically, one human being becomes many. Everything in the cosmos is intertwined and interchangeable. Embracing this awareness may bring fear or euphoria-desolation, peace, despair, rapture.
