A "spiritual fantasy," Celebration takes the reader on a journey revealing the nature of Love. Celebration demonstrates the essence of communication-true communication. The work communicates to all ages, and readers find themselves increasingly tuned in, page by page, to its very special message.
Here is a brief excerpt from Celebration:
"Tell us the sound of no name."
He looked across the Darkness, now lit only by wide eyes reflecting a red moon so typical of a Sixthseason evening and feeling their reach he said:
"It is the sound made by the wind as it courses free and you can hear it if you listen with your heart. Seashells sing its song and the flight of Seagulls draws the paths of its boundaries."
What readers are saying:
"This is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read." - Ariella Kapelner
"Celebration is simply, incredibly beautiful. You have really achieved something very, very fine with this piece and I'm in awe-I don't think I've ever read anything like it, and it's truly a spiritual perspective. You painted truth with a feather's caress. Perhaps I'll ask any of my potential suitors to read Celebration-they'll get an idea of what I'm contemplating." - Daveda Lamont
"This poem is a caress. It is childlike, but it is also the reverse of childlike. The child makes believe his toys are real so that he can lavish upon them his real tenderness. Arte creates a 'make-believe' garden to express to us our real tenderness for each other as fellow creators, fellow children. It's also a love story. Its deeper implications are fully delineated elsewhere by a 'multi-colored toadstool.'" - Dean Blehert
Celebration is a beautiful play of words, portraying nature that we have taken for granted. It is a love story of nature. Celebration reminds me that as humans we get caught up in our own lives and our problems, yet there is another world around us that we tend to ignore. Celebration is a reminder that "god is in his heaven, and all's right with the world." - Violet Delee (Age 78)
"Celebration evoked some aesthetic images in me that I haven't felt in a long time." - Lorretta Catarineau
