Monologue

A Monologue on the Shores of the River of Life is a collection of thoughts by Romanian-American author, Alexandra Roceric. They spring from simple musings -- ones not easily classified thematically. They make no pretensions at being "ultimate truth." It is even difficult to categorize them as aphorisms, proverbs, or maxims. They might not even qualify as good advice in the classical sense! Simply put, they are propositions and questions; they are never spoken in jest.

After my husband's passing, thoughts were whirling around in the vacuum created by his absence. Yes, my sounding board was gone, but slowly some of these thoughts began to voice themselves. What had once been dynamic dialogue morphed into a powerful monologue. Now in print, this Monologue just might elicit a response from some and even stimulate others.
