Share a Photo & a Thought: The Moon


The Moon
Majestic and beautiful she is. Teaching us of the phases of life, from death to rebirth.
Teaching us that in life we will have moments of illumination and others of pure darkness. 
Her phases shows us all that and even if in a new moon we can not see her, her essence is still there.
One way or another she tells us, we are immortals! For our memories will always live in the
hearts of those that love us, in pictures, in nature and in history. Our essence just like hers 
might not be seen once we leave this life, but it will be there. It will be there.

Book Review: Cloud Atlas


What if our souls reincarnated? What if our past lives way of life, thinking and doing stuff affected who we are today? What if we fall in love and when reincarnated we find this person once more??
Those are the "what if" questions that I have been asking myself when reading Cloud Atlas. Cloud Atlas is a novel written by David Mitchel. The novel is composes of six different stories that intertwine one way or another throughout the story. At first it might be a bit slow and it might loose you but once you start to click together the pieces of puzzle together it will take your breath away. 

David Mitchel managed to write a great  original science fiction that reveals how desperate people connect, how their fates intertwine and how their souls travel in time and stumble upon one another in a future. He manage to play with your mind with great philosophical and scientific speculation and in the end leaves you wondering and asking questions about the subjects he touches(like the ones I had!) I really liked the book and I believe you should all read it. I also believe they were making a movie out of it guess ill have to do a bit of research on that. But this being my first review of a book I would have to give it a pure four star out of four star!! Cause I really loved it!
