After you finish this book, I ask you to look around your world with new eyes. We silent folk deserve more consideration. Notice the assumptions that no longer feel so convincing. How little we all actually know about each other. Many hearts beat in sync but not in tune. No one fully knows the contents of another’s heart.

I invite you to join on a promenade of joyful discovery in the dark shadows and bright lights of my innermost spaces. Now, onward.
