A Memoir of Discernment: How Love and Loss Revealed an Arrival
“He was looking for a map. She was painting the way home.”
Sergio was a man driven by logic and ambition, convinced that his "Personal Legend" was a treasure waiting to be found in some distant land. He built a protective "shell" around his heart, believing that invulnerability was strength.
Then he met Maria.
An artist from Argentina with a quiet, "soul-drawn" wisdom, Maria did not strive for truth—she inhabited it. Through eighteen years of love, art, and life across three continents, she taught Sergio how truly witnessing another person’s life transforms "looking at" into a deeper "seeing"—revealing the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary.
Beheld is a memoir of transformation and discernment. Heartbreaking yet triumphant, it is the story of seeing beyond the pain of departure to discover how love and loss revealed an arrival.
“To be human is to be in transit, journeying toward an Ithaca beyond time”
