Anne Egseth offers us an existential song from the heart of a 12-year-old girl who chooses to live by her own graces rather than subscribe to the limits of her family’s difficult circumstances. We are treated to living with Luna as she inhales the universe in her unique way of tasting the fullness of life through her never-ending curiosity. Estranged from her father, she is able to honor him daily to keep him in her life. Even her mother's health problems do not stop her from living fully with her innocent wisdom that matches many a sage. As a psychotherapist, I can see what an amazing lesson we are given in how we could all live if we, like this 12-year old, respected the universe to give us the strength to do what we are asked. Many thanks to Anne Egseth for taking us into Luna’s heart to live intimately with her as she persevered in all that was asked of her.
