We all have memories that are sacred to us, that we have kept for ourselves. They bridge our pasts and our present. Some of these are sources of great beauty and we hold them dear. Others bring pain and heartache, and these we often wish to forget. In life, however, we must hold sacred both the darkness and the light, without turning our backs on either one. We must embrace the totality of the human experience — even the difficult, ugly, and messy parts. Great awakenings can come from loving and losing, but only if we are willing to stand in the storms of all the exquisite highs and agonizing lows of life . ‘Unforgettable’ is a searing and exhilarating journey along the winding path of memory. The poems, romantic quotes and poetic prose in this book are grounded in an eternal present, lifting the reader out of the ordinary concepts of love and into the extraordinary. The stories and concepts pull apart and recombine like shining rivers, blending love, dreams and reality. The reader is invited to link arms with the writer and step into a celebration of love, forgiveness, and a final acceptance.
When we are truly in love we abandon ourselves in that feeling. For the second time, Madalina takes the reader on a beautiful journey in the kingdom of love and it's impossible that one would not relate with any of the words. Love is like a tasty alcohol - a little too sweet, but very strong making one climb from the real - what has been- to the unreal - to the "what would have been", in just seconds. Unforgettable is the inebriation one feels when experiencing the bliss of love, it's the shattered soul that has fallen from paradise only to notice that it's not their broken wings that made them fall, but the absence of perfection. Playing with simple everyday words, Madalina takes the imagery to the next level as if she is a scryer in reading feelings. To this add beautiful graphic and you have a complete piece of art.
I don’t even know where to begin with the emotions I felt while reading Unforgettable. Madalina has an unbelievably extraordinary way of pulling the emotions out of her soul and placing them with so much compassion into the pages within this book. It brought me to tears many times as I was faced to remember, relive and heal from the nostalgic places her words took me to in my past and my life. It was revolutionary in changing my perspective on many things in my personal life for the best. I truly love this woman and the incredible light she has brought to my life just by her beautiful words.
Madalina's second book is a journey of love experienced in all of it's truest forms. Through the beauty and the pain, Madalina speaks in words that depict every stage with raw feelings and truth. I am always grateful for writers who share on this level, identifying their own tragedy and success as a significant part of love. It is a brave and moving endeavor that captivated me.
This book has not left my night stand since it arrived. Aside from being Aesthetically beautiful, the words that fill these pages, line your heart with hope, love and honesty. This is the second book of Madalina's that I have purchased and I did not think, after reading her first, that I could love her words any more. I have never been so happy to be wrong.
