Circa Full Circle

Kalpana Shah and her daughter Sanjana run Tao Art Gallery together. Both suffered a deep personal loss in the 26/11 terror attacks, and this book shows how each of them turned to her own medium, art and poetry, to heal and to rebuild what had been broken. At its core, though, Circa Full Circle is a book of philosophical reflection. It ranges widely across the universe, the idea of the self, and the making and breaking of particulars. It also considers relationships built on opposites, heartbreak, and the elusive but luminous meaning of love, before moving on to reason, purpose and finally life itself. The book is ultimately about a life lived fully despite all that is inevitable in it.
