Beyond the Awakening

The expansive road of life never runs as the crow flies while following the lives of Marg1e and Mark, their son Vladimir and wife Judy and his former wife, Helen and their friends, Liz and Joel. For if life were so predictable and undemanding, decisions would not be called an essential element to reconfigure our singular destination. The road, in fact, is rarely leveled though paved with good intentions. It requires unintended adjustments to each obstacle we encounter, may it be physical or psychological challenges that claim their victims. We must nonetheless throw ourselves to the wind, confident of our interior power that with every failure is experience gained. Margie and Liz had a chance encounter from which a strong and lasting friendship developed bringing into the equation their respective mates, Mark and Tomasino; two individuals with diametrically opposed worldview of the marriage dynamics. It was not long after the exchange of vows that Liz began experiencing Tomasino's infidelity, having given birth to one son they named Tommy. Growing up in a loveless household filled with the stress of an ill-conceived union weighed heavily on the mind of that young boy whose destiny in life took him to a place relegated to society's rejects. He did not deserve that fate... So continues our exploration into the lives of Marge and Elizabeth, two friends who discovered each other walking on parallel boulevards of broken dreams where tears were shed. Years passed, seasons came and ended, lives were redeemed, joy came to erase the sorrows of yesteryear and to mend the broken hearts. A new generation awakens to perpetuate life continuum. The saga doesn't end but is rejuvenated like flowers in springtime.
