ODE TO PEANUT M & M'S: A Bittersweet Passage...

The book of poems sometimes came to Carol-la between sleep and wakefulness, to create order out of the chaos of life. Many are of love, loss, mourning, melancholy and the pain of grief and redemption.

As the grief process ebbs and flows, it is leavened with growth, hope and joy and sustained by the spirituality of Taos Mountain and Tibet. Carol-la began to reconnect with the world and find meaning. It speaks of the Tibetan Sky Burial ritual and of the veil between living and dying.
