This collection of poetry, art, and conversations is not based on any particular chronology – but rather on a range of themes pertaining to birth and death. Bordering on fantasy, to me this book represents a time voyage – an excursion between imagined pasts and imagined futures, stretching the boundaries of concepts such as "self", "time", and "death". And during this voyage, sometimes it is not clear what is past and what is future. Who says time is unilinear? Time is in fact a fantastic grinding stone, and all of us are grist for the mill.
Those who believe they have no time read an entire book can catch a glimpse of it in these excerpts. Another option is to jump around – you might end up in an interesting place.
