He didn't remember exactly where he was before he had a body, but he definitely remembered where he was when he became aware he was now inside a body.The harder he tried to remember before, though, the further it seemed to slip away. He had to have known at one time— he remembers there was a "one time," doesn't he? Why was it now cruelly held captive at the edge of his awareness, taunting and teasing his muffled soul?One thing he did know: he did not belong here. He was not from this place, he was not made for this place, he did not belong in this place. He was sure of it.But to this place he had come.Looking upon a sea of twisted and angry faces now, his first memory in this new reality is nearly his last.But what is this reality?How did he get here? And why is he here?ROOT is an emotional journey of love, fear, loss, and exactly what it means to be alive. — • —The Root Chakra processes our energies and emotions of fear, survival, foundation, family, and purpose. I really enjoyed Root, the first in the Energy Anthology series. It has two of my favorite subjects, Shamanism, and Star Knowledge, included in the story line. Learning new concepts through story telling is, by far, the best method for me. I already have the next book downloaded. Now to find a quiet spot!
