Echoes From An Unexamined Life

by Steve Sagarra

Friendship, love, regret, history, reflection...how many lives does it take to save just one? This is the question underlying Echoes From An Unexamined Life, a general reflection and personal journey examining the importance of family relations and history, friendships developed over many years and the perseverance of individual spirit. Anecdotes weaved throughout the narrative explore many themes, including family, friendship and personal growth with regard to our existence in relation to and the importance of our earthly associations. Centered around the physical, mental and spiritual aftereffects of a personal trauma, it is no less a journey of spiritual humanism concentrated on the existent presence of our mortal lives and the connections we make over a lifetime.
