Seeing Red: A Woman's Quest for Truth, Power, and the SacredSeeing Red, the novel by Lone Morch, touched me in many ways. I was drawn to the cover image which represented a woman standing in her power, with complete vulnerability and naturalness. As I began reading, it touched something very deep in me to see that she understood and experienced what I have often felt, the feeling that everyone else seemed to "get" how to be spiritually connected, except me. I was drawn in deeper, to learn from her journey, to see how she found her own answers.
Throughout the book I saw a woman who was completely and humanly perfect and flawed. As are we all. I met a woman who explored pleasure and felt love, who doubted herself, who knew herself. At times I was in such awe of the life experiences that Lone has gone through, the world travels and the passion she felt. During those moments I felt very small and that I've not made a significant contribution to the world, not stepped out of my comfortable life to have a grand adventure. And yet I realized also that we each have our own adventures in our own way.
And as the book wound to a close, I was inspired. Inspired to explore the unknown, to delve more deeply into my sacred power as a woman, to touch and taste and sense the darkness as well as the light in myself. Lone's journey represented to me all that I have experienced or want to experience, and with her making it through and finding her own "red" energy, it has given me such hope for myself and where I am on my own path. I also see this as a book to give to my daughter at the right time, as a gift to teach her about following her path and exploring without limits.
Read this book no matter where you are on your life journey, all women will find themselves here, at some point along the way. All will find something, whether a sister to learn from, a role model to emulate, a traveler who has taken the difficult road so we don't have to.
