INTRODUCING JONATHAN MONAGHAN
LITERARY INTERPRETATION – FROM CINDIA
CHARACTER: THE GRAND VILLA OR THE SPICE TEMPLE
A reflective light, and there is life, but the grand villa is not ready yet. In discerning discontent, it creaks into motion. With a shimmering glimmer, it wants you to know – in this moment in time – that it is alive!
But there are still things to be reconciled before more can be revealed. And the grand villa, with its mystery and magic, likes to keep things a bit mysterious. You will know more when they are ready.
The grand villa is awakening.
