Ecstatic Relations: A Memoir

by Carolyn North

Overview

Ecstatic Relations is a memoir of delicious love stories, a metaphor for the universal law of attraction, a way of discussing the relationship between science and spirit, a metaphor for the evolution of consciousness and a meditation on cosmic consciousness, wherein everything in the universe is interconnected, dynamic, and ultimately whole. Through the author’s love for her wounded childhood dog, her passionate encounters with men and women, gay and straight, young and old, and her relationship to the husband with whom she has been bonded for decades, we get a glimpse into the Mystery of which we are all a part.
