LISTEN TO THE LIGHT - Warrington Freda S.
- Stories of Interruptions, Intersections and Insights
In this collection of stories and essays, unexpected events of everyday life become a springboard to examine deeper layers of meaning. A bowl shattering for no apparent reason leads to musings about other abrupt endings, a chance encounter engenders a new friendship, a meeting with a Catholic nun provokes reexamination of faith. Freda Warrington’s humorous and ironic approach yields nuggets of wisdom – whether she explores her Jewish roots, relates cheese blintzes to love, reflects on old age, worries about how to enjoy her fancy Hermes scarf, or traces the amazing history of a tallcase clock heirloom. Her stories remind us that not everything can be explained away: There is wonder and mystery at the core of our being, enriching our lives in surprising, magical ways.
