Alex and Phyllis are in the autumn of their lives, living in a state of suspended relationship.Their love for each other has come to a standstill, as they grapple with the choices they've made in life.Is there still hope, even after a decade of separation? Or are they doomed to forever live in a state of unfulfilled love.In this story, they come together to examine what lies ahead for them, together with their grown up children, who are making choices of their own.

Stories travelling through life and life traveling through stories; faces and situations appearing in between, some forgotten and others remembered. Halfway through, I lost myself in infinite loops of vibrant hues, entangled in endless spirals of lives and births spinning through a timeless, formless, soundless space unknown to the intellect, losing awareness of who I was, who I am and who I will be. It felt pleasant, with no hatred or revenge Life was beautiful. A Series of awakenings int...
