A fantastical parable, the setup to this story’s climax gives few clues to what is to come: an audacious insight into the very nature of awareness itself. This mystery story is told by a father on the eve of his fateful departure, as an explanation to his young daughter as to why he has to go away for his work. Years later the young woman, now grown, is prompted to recall the story, told years ago, on the eve of her father’s unexplained disappearance. It is an encoded mystery, fantastic, surreal, moving and challenging. Meet the original diver and the little girl. And wonder at the pearl.
