Father Richard arrives in the remote parish of Mossford to escape a nascent affection that could destroy his calling. He hopes for quiet work and a gentler life, but instead finds a community shaped by an old wound: two unmarked graves lying outside the church wall, the resting place of Julia and Thomas Blandford, cast out after a scandal in 1892 and left in silence ever since. Moved by conscience, Richard brings them back into the fold, marking their names, and blessing their graves.

Suppose c isn't the speed of light at all, but really the frame-rate of existence — the cosmic refresh cycle that keeps reality stitched together?

Most of us inhabit beliefs we never chose, allowing them to permeate our being until we perceive them as a vital part of who we are. When belief and ego fuse in this way, something essential is lost — and the consequences can be profound. The fusion of dogmatic conviction with identity has shaped some of the darkest chapters of our species. This book challenges that fusion. It invites the listener to step back from inherited certainties and rediscover the Self that exists beneath them — the deeper, unconditioned presence that belief can obscure but never define.
