Summary

Absolute faith is my pixie dust. That, and a loathing for earthly decrees. It was a time upon once in a land called never. What I found in never is the never-ending. Love is the only possible forever. “Monique monique”, is an adventurous tale spanning four generations, two Monique’s, and one cherished fairy tale handed down through the Bobkin family. Jacob Bobkin recalls the anguish and miracles of his impetuous adventures to his twin grandchildren. When aspiring lawyer Jacob Bobkin becomes disillusioned with his life, he disappears. Those who know him are convinced he is dead. All except for his young daughter, who lives by the promise of his return. In his darkest moments, Jacob awakens to his past; embarking upon a journey to find the broken pieces of his life. Jacob seeks to find the faithful Godmother from his youth, Monique. Monique disappeared from Jacob’s life when he was five years old. Jacob follows a maze of clues from his meager existence, bloodied and passed out on an abandoned concrete lot; culminating his journey by climbing a remote peak in the Sierra Nevada. Jacob travels from coast to coast, in search of those he left behind. And do not forget about the killer chocolate chip cookies, and like, the totally fab charisma cakes. “Grampa, you know what Mommie always says- “Pure joy comes from our struggles, because tests of faith build courage.” (James1:2-3).”

Prelude

Infinity plus one

When darkness is at its darkest,

That is the beginning of all light

Lao Tzu


Ignited needles pierce the delicate cloak; an imperceptible facade enclosing the shadowed orb deep within dream’s enchantment. The imminent light startles those consumed by darkness.

The infested sphere, tethered in orbit by the taut allure of a shimmering master. A ceaseless trajectory in delicate balance; the constant struggle between collapse and escape.

Twilight greets the dances immersed in shadows. Impassioned whirls, spontaneous celebrations of our planet’s luminous attraction. Gyrations perceived by what moves sky yonder. Impetuous enchantment, endure thy darkened plight. Forever turning into darkness. Ever awakening to the light.

The grand light reveals our home, planet earth. Innumerable generations have traveled the well-worn path, whilst beyond, endures eternal space.

Here, where it is so easy to get lost in the multitude, he is one. He is more than one of the many, for he is one more. Having lived for so long in darkness, he resists the light. “The true light which enlightens all, shines in darkness. And the darkness shall never overcome it”. (John 1:5,9)
