Product Description
by Ben Hertel (Author)
meadowdrama allows us to contemplate the Other in a non-threatening way, and even makes us see our own folly so that the onus of change is not just on them, but on ourselves. With meadowdrama Ben Hertel gives us what we need most right now: a good hearty laugh and hope for a future filled with fruity flowers and recalcitrant rocks.

Ben Hertel's meadowdrama, with its ironic humor and simple reflections, compels the reader to question one's convictions about right and wrong, relationships, and control. The timeless and enduring rock who has seen it all and no longer dares to hope or imagine is fated to exist next to a single flower, providing stark contrast and thought-provoking insight.
