My novels are set in a global space and pace. However, I have never visited most of the places.

And in the same manner, the one following follows with Trust and Submission; never feeling too big to be led or scared to jump. There is a blind assurance that someone is there to catch.

Some seem to be desynchronized in their relationships. They feel oppressed, because they cannot move forward together and at the same pace.
