Awake in the Game of Pretending

Rate this book
Love is the realm
where doves and
dragons surrender.

In a world that too often vibrates on the lower frequencies of fear, grief and confusion, love guides mankind to enlightenment. And in awakening, one searches for a more solid place in the human game. Pain and suffering; the cycle of life and death - they appear to be necessary struggles in the quest for self-realization, though perhaps they are not. Who knows?

Awake in the Game of Pretending continues the spiritual exploration begun in This is an imprint, connecting readers on a collective scale.

At times there we're poems that I couldn't take seriously, such as Candy Cane or the ONCE UPON NO TIME, I mean half of it was with the word You, for an instant I felt like I was conversing with a Chinese laundry lady in New York.

But there are other creative innuendoes in the rest of the book, the Poem T:
"she knows that you suffered, beloved, because you forgot you we're stardust"

The author ponited at the fact that T is a believer who forgot the truth of the cosmic reality of things, clever.

It Is What It Is
"These chains are more peaceful than your chains" while they beat each other to a pulp.

The religious conforntation at a simple metaphore, for to some, Religion is confinement,
Clever.

It's upside down and royally sucks
"And you stand here, a Dear in the headlights, wondering where's the love? "

I can't help but to hear the echoes of the song Rabbit In Your Headlights by Them York while reading this.
I like

Love is PINK FLOYD'S COMFORTABLY NUMB ON REPEAT Y'ALL!

As a Pink Floyd ULTRA fan; That line alone.deserved a star.

In overall, Nejoud at times tried to show the reader what's inside her mind, the liberation of mind from the traditional ancient thinking can be a beautiful sensation rather than pure feeling of abandoned in the desert awaiting the guillotine in hell

We are Stardust made of Billions and Billions of stars in the galaxy.

We'll done
