A Monastic Bell
Tintinnabula
- Margo Lanagan (author)
- Rovina Cai (illustrator)
In wild times and in wartime,
in times of fear and illness, I go
to Tintinnabula, where soft rains fall.
Tintinnabula is a story about moving from discomfort to peace,
from violence and uncertainty to a still, sure place.
It reminds us that our best friend in hard times
can often be ourselves.
