The burden of obsessive materialism, so rampant in this age, is costly indeed.

Chastened heart and mind do See
Unchained Soul ascends

Reviewed by Sage Sweetwater
Reviewed on March 14, 2009
Simplicity of where morning glories twine around the door...you know Sister said it...bookmarked...screenwriter brought out her character bigger than life...her duel with vascular dementia is especially a sad, dramatic scene written so powerfully by the screenwriter whose own mother battled the same demon witnessed daily and in the care of my screenwriter...life imitates art, doesn't it...our devotion to our elderly mothers....I want to send you the script in your email one day soon...the final scenes are coming...it's been a long, emotional script to write and it has brought every one of my business partners to their knees...the changes in lifestyle and religion and materialism turned into giving back to the convent reflect so spiritually in the music soundtrack...it has been very cathartic in the lives of everyone involved in this project...Unchained Souls and...Purity...
