This book is a selection of poems that represent the author's spiritual journey over the years. The poems express her personal reflections on the nature of life, contemplation of societal beliefs and values, and a search for answers in untangling the concept of self from spirituality. Her poems reflect thoughts and emotions that may seem controversial to readers at times, but that simultaneously unveil important and thought-provoking questions. These free verse poems have been inspired by the author's conversations, events, and dreams, perspectives ranging from eastern philosophies to quantum physics, and the teachings of Persian poets and western spiritual authors.

Parto left her birth country of Iran for the United States at age seventeen. As a young girl living alone in a new country, Parto felt compelled to become self-reliant and reflective about her life experiences. Her exposure to new philosophies and viewpoints that varied from those of her youth flamed a curiosity and a journey to seek answers to her questions surrounding life, death, self, and spirituality. After a successful professional career, Parto has embarked on a new path to publicly share her lifelong questions and perceptions in the first compilation of her work. Today, Parto continues to write poetry, create art and design products that feature her poetry.
