Gibbous

by Unnati Sarda

"From the void to fullness, the moon travels a transformational path. This course of the moon is symbolic of our imperfect journey, which may or may not always be beautiful but remains enriching in many ways. Transformation is a difficult path because it occurs entwined with life as it is. The soul evolves despite life as well as because of it. Only a few reach complete illumination, but those who reach the gibbous, the 'almost there' stage of evolution, are the ones who look towards the rest with kindness, teach compassion, and show the way. Those who reach this stage of evolution know what it means to be humanly divine or divinely human. Gibbous is a collection of poems that reveal the beauty of an imperfect path leading to a meaningful life."
