Moments

Moments is a collection of experiences along the healing journey that are not often discussed from the perspective of a person whose pain may never be resolved. Dulce's story is about illness. But Moments is for anyone who has experienced suffering and is living in the unpleasant present. Through the extended metaphor of the garden, Dulce weaves imaginative concepts like Sleeping Beauty syndrome and the "moments tools" of armor, anchor, and tonic with insightful personal reflections and wisdom for those seeking happiness in painful times. Introspective poetry about fragility, longing, and hope are incorporated with healing meditations to delve further into our shared story of hurting, waiting, and wanting what is not yet here. It is hard to be patient and accepting of pain. But by loving the imperfect healing journey and embracing the unpleasant present, we can learn to create beauty out of the darkness, which will allow us to lead lives we love.
