Do these things seem absurd? Then ask yourself the question: How do you know that what you see is real? The brain and eyes filter what we see...or don't see. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat crackling glimpses come from dreams? Is there really any such thing as a dream - or do we just exist in perpetual dream, moving in and out of one to another? Perhaps time is not linear - but circular - and therefore irrelevant. Time is based upon our perception of longevity. We have the lifespan of a fruit fly compared to that of an ancient tree or sacred rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow far should we go to change what we 'see'? What monsters and miracles might be created? Do we ever change anything without the power of a greater hand. Then, do we change anything? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a nuanced and sometimes lyrical way, 'Asking the Moon to Leave' scratches through the veneer of reality to play with its kill. It accelerates into a complicated mystery of coincidences and people who initially seem unconnected. Its protagonists start as two points of light; and within what appears to be a lunar cycle - they live a lifetime. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 'RC' and 'Anna' unravel a dark mystery and pursue an ancient romance, what becomes apparent is how easy the human miracle can get blood on its hands - while gazing at a sparkling canopy of stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977206893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Johnny Randolph Hunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315034615989,"sku":"9781977206893","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0a22c3f1-c345-445d-b479-c4f66f73bee6.jpg?v=1718719889","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/asking-the-moon-to-leave-9781977206893","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
