Opis

This is the story of a magical, musical monk of a man named Pio, and a wild woman-child named Lilly who was raised by birds and animals and is twice as free as them all. It takes place in Provence, France, sometime before the industrial revolution, when humans still lived in harmony with the sun and moon. It is a lyrical story, fully celebrating the mystery of life in a multi-dimensional Universe full of astonishing beauty and wonders. Though Lilly is free of fear regarding all creatures of the sky, earth and sea, she is deathly afraid of mankind. Pio, on the other hand, is full of compassionate love for humanity, and as he grows in amazement at the beauty of Lilly's innocence and magical relationship with all of nature, he is gifted with the ability to heal the sick who come to him for help. Pio's obvious call to serve people, and Lilly's hatred of them finally drive them apart until the day Lilly meets the very heart of darkness and the true reason for the deepest fears of her life. "Pio and Lilly is a tale about a great Love, and a power that can transform not only them but us, and how we see life, for I believe that everything in this story is truly possible. I know in my heart of hearts that the potential of life is wondrous beyond our highest dreams, and that a very great Love is at work, right now, in this world, to wake us up from a very old spell of a sense of separation and transform our relationship to God, ourselves, each other, animals, birds... everything."

Donna Lindsay UK This is a stunning piece Blake, quite simply beautiful. A re-reader for sure - I know I need to think upon these wise words. It has pulled me in to think well over a few reads and made tears fall, for you capture so much that relates. A very poignant piece. Just brilliant. Jakki I have heard it said the task of The Poet is to describe the indescribable so that the less lyrically gifted get to feel God; well you Sir, are like the one that threads the eye of the smallest needle and puts people in touch with whole new aspects of themselves...a modern day Sage no less Pete Wilson Sweden Your words can make a person fly with joy, dance with the wind and cry from the deepest part of the soul.
