A Political Love Story: An idea that became a Short...Long Story and ended up a Novel!
An idea that became a Short...Long Story and ended up a Novel!
This book was never intended. It came about one day as I considered a thought. The simple thought; If we, as humans get used to tolerating abuse, when we consider alternatives to the abuse it tends to involve changing or redirecting the abuse rather than abolishing it.
I was searching for a metaphor in my mind at the time to explain the thought I was having, not yet fully formed. The thought got caught in my creative mind and amongst other complex ideas I was having at the time that involved the archetypal energies of gender, how our masculine and feminine desires and behaviors had been warped through our abuse of one another.
The thought was to big to hold in my mind so I sat down to try and write it out. What happened was several days of direct channelling of words onto the pages that became this story.
A Political Love Story was not planned. It was not comprehended until the words met the page but something endearing emerged I felt the urge to publish. This was several hours, spanning over about four days as I channeled these words.
This story and it's emergence was the first time writing of this kind emerged through me. It was channelling as I experienced before but never on this scale. It was an intense experience that lead to a light but deeply evocative piece of writing I will always hold dear.
A Political Love Story explores the ideas of fate, destiny and human intervention. It considers archetypes of masculine and feminine expressions and how they play out. It is a childlike genesis story culminating in the modern situations we are facing. It considers a broad and simple representation of party politics and the communal drives that created them.
The book is simple, a bit confusing at times, complex, broad ranging spanning time and space with no real accuracy. Representing life and humanity it is a muddle of a book that is designed to evoke ideas, start conversations and bring awareness to the simplistic drives yet the complex dynamics created within humanity.
The book has not been professionally edited. It is intended to be raw, unpolished and true to the channel that expressed itself through me.
It is not my work, nor my writing but it does have my influence upon it. The book is a gift to me, to you, from a source I was blessed enough to tap into, whatever that might mean. The words and ideas are slightly surreal. Undefinable, unassuming and a simple expression of words on a page. A Political Love Story invites you to open your mind and allow the words and imagination to find you.
