The author has carried this spiritual quest at arm's length for several decades. Surviving life and its pitfalls can trigger a quest for truth and meaning that will come straight from the heart.William Shakespeare had it right when he wrote: 'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances...'The magic behind the orchestration of each individual's role in the play of life was one Olivia pondered over for some time.
