...WOW...such Passion!... Sensuality... Imagination... Creativity... ...the depth of Valerie’s emotion comes at the reader like the bursts of an automatic weapon...impossible to ignore...cannot miss....pervasive... ...leaves one intellectually wondering "what happened"....am I still alive?...she said "what?"... ...but how could she otherwise convey the depth and sensuality of that kind of emotion?... ...It's like one big "Heart Beat"...every facet vibrant and pulsating...at the same time...in all the directions necessary to keep one alive...never quite understood or reducible to lay terms...or common understanding...certainly not in its entirety... ..."Passion" is an experience... it cannot be looked at or read or understood in a linear fashion...but can only be absorbed "all at once"...like ancient cannon fire spinning through the air ...bursting through as it finally finding it's mark...taking its time....then leisurely exploding in the frantic fraction of a second remaining. ...like some illicit drug slowly pulsating as it eases through your intellectual veins...only to gather and settle....then burst inside your brain... all at once...with a flood of joy/agony/pain/relief providing the ecstasy that you sought.. accompanied by the anguish you reluctantly you must also bare. ..."Passion" cannot perceived a little at a time...only all at once...only after it has been soaked and absorbed into your intellectual being can you even begin to experience the full emotional impact that is "SOUL PASSION" John O Adams-Beverly Hills Judge- Beverly Hills, CA.
