Soldier, guitarist, Canada, air-hostess, reincarnation, South Africa and lonely housewife what vital dynamics mediate convergence, what do they have in common for the characters involved? Hurt in a failing relationship, Frank Valourin balances fragile sensitivity against unremitting desire for spiritual partnership. Human company is vital to him now aloneness not a natural human condition. That however is also a paradox he never wants to find himself in a position where he can hurt another human heart or mind. Injuring another purely by being your best possible self triggers vast introspection he has almost conclusively decided on reluctance to ever involve himself in a serious relationship again. That too, is a traumatic awareness, as he feels that he has much love to give, and so wants to be loved. That need for a sense of completion, loving spiritual security, that sense of mutually sensitive nurturing and living life in the fullness and joy of resonant companionship that nothing can exceed, consumes him. A human connection halfway across the world changes everything, its depth beyond anything he has experienced. Could this be the beginning of a new life?
