    About this ebook

    The Balloon Man may walk you across the bridge.

    The intent is to ignite the universal symbolism of our collective
    consciousness. Australian Dreamtime Poet - Michael Moon
    delivers an open genre and style that crosses borders.
    The ebb and flow of this suite is intended to
    wake you into a new fresh and heightened perception.
    This short work is almost entirely factual, entwining an imagistic
    theatrical element into the sacred.
    The wise sage and jester launches himself across the
    stages of lives to elucidate the freedom that is within our grasp -
    closer than the air we breath ...
