CLARITY AND REDEMPTION

Clemence Massaad Musa's books, be it Chrysalis, Arya, or Clarity And Redemption, if read carefully, have the potential of changing lives; turning miserable situations into great workshops of amazing joy. Although she was blamed for speaking to women only, she insists that her books, although mainly about women, addressed largely those males who needed to understand the subtlety of their female counterpart's psyche. This revolutionary process happens only with the obliteration of borders, the dismantling of the boulders we so love to build and hide behind. When we see one another as the same, precisely identical same, it is then that we are able to extend the care to that other we love to receive for ourselves, it is when we stop making wars, and creating feuds. "All the peace talks we plan, the speeches we write, the rhetoric we hide behind, amount to not one thing unless we dismantle the walls of division: The black, the yellow, the Mexican, the Caucasian, the labels, and categories of better and worse, and classifications. All humans, all creations are as perfect as they need to be. How else could they be if they were created by the One Perfection, the Creator of this world?"
