These short stories and lyrical narratives, written by Rogers over the span of a decade or more, are related by their common theme: learning lessons from one's past mistakes and from other traumatic life experiences. An eclectic mixture of characters with diverse backgrounds and beliefs, placed within imaginative settings and scenarios, makes each story unique in its narrative. The collection begins with a fable of supernatural Sisyphean consequences and concludes with a dramatic tale of eternal love, heartbreaking loss, and vengeance. The stories in-between will allow a reader to run the gamut of emotions that any of us may feel when faced with complex and challenging circumstances of varying degrees. Involving individuals of all age demographics, these storylines often move in and out of chronological order as well as in and out of consciousness both singular and collective. A Jungian-influenced focus on the critical importance of memories, dreams, and reflections helps guide the tales to fruition. As written by C.G. Jung: "I know well enough that every word I utter carries with it something of myself--of my special and unique self with its particular history and its own particular world... But it is only by accepting this as inevitable that I can serve the cause of man's knowledge of man... Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also." [Modern Man in Search of a Soul]
