Down Below to the Beginning
Mayelana nale ebook
In this eight-part saga, Zoe and Tod traverse a lifetime of love, loss, and wonder—moving between the ordinary and the mythic. From childhood forts that open into another world (Down Below), to adolescent realms of dissociation and healing (Up Above and the Runaway); from a shamanic cave of timeless discovery (Across the Gulf and Journey into Untime), to a mysterious child found near the shore (Across the Bay), their journey unfolds across shifting landscapes of spirit and heart.
Whether embarking on a whimsical European quest to rekindle passion (In the Wild and Do One Wild Thing), or entering a glacial-carved visionary world in their later years (On the Mountain and Two Are Missing), each tale deepens their bond. The story culminates in a metaphysical afterlife journey (To the Beginning and Journey Through Here), becoming a meditation on memory, destiny, and the quiet radiance of shared lives.
Blending fantasy, magical realism, and emotional truth, these interconnected stories offer a mirror to our own experience—how love evolves, how time bends, and how even the most ordinary life can become an extraordinary journey.
