The Rainbow Bridge

Something transcends the mundane world in this unusual travelogue of sorts. An unchartered journey of spiritual awakening in Mustang of Northern Nepal spiels the author's experience of the place as she wanders the mountains and vales without any intention of going anywhere in particular. Swept into the vortex of the place, she comes to realize that she has entered a kind of sub-strata reality, where the division between gross, hard core reality blends easily into a more subtle space of existence. After returning to Kathmandu and shaken in a new way by what had happened, she set about to write it down. A mystical and unusual explanation of the deeper process that had occurred ensued upon the page in the root text The Rainbow Bridge that appeared in a series of verses flowing from the mind in an insistent and procreative way. Bridging the so-called outer meaning of our lives to our inner senses, thoughts, perceptive states and ultimately to that naked state of awareness that cannot define itself except as just existing, a commentary to the essential text includes its most obvious as well as hidden meanings within the rainbow allegory that pervades the book by paralleling them with our consciousness. A holistic feeling of artistry is enhanced in the book's layout and design that is also integral to the overall message.
