"An Unfolding of Love" is Rashani Réa's gift to her son, expressing wondrous gratitude and tenderness by sharing with him her creativity and meaningful moments of her life. It includes 41 collages with words by Rashani, photographs of 10 stone altars she has built during the past two decades, and several pages of poetry, written many years ago.Her own mother burned most of her poetry and journals shortly before she died. Perhaps the inspiration for this book was birthed in part from the hollowness Rashani carried for several years following her mother's death; from the longing to have known more intimately her mother's inner world and life experience. It is remarkable how she transforms pain into medicine, time and time again, for the benefit of all beings."Love is the great catalyst, the transformer of inner and outer worlds. Rashani's book, An Unfolding of Love is an altar where the power of love is honored, held in awe, and remembered in the particulars of a human life-which is always where Love meets us. Her words and her images mirror and sing an homage to the force, the sometimes gentle but always irresistible power of the love that takes us and shapes us when we become mothers."-Oriah (Mountain Dreamer) House, author of "The Invitation"
