Description
And beneath the moonlight
I ride with the silver wolf,
chasing the horizon’s trembling edge
into the nights to find myself,
to face shadows without a flinch until
each scrape of the hammer
has carved away the fear
to bring out the truth —
strong, wild, and alive.
Bindiya transforms nature into poetry. Nature permeates all her feelings, all her words, fluid, melodic, persuasive. But she does not stop there. Amidst echoes of history, of vanished empires, of monuments that speak of former greatness but tore peoples apart, and of her experiences in other latitudes, Bindiya glosses over hope, her belief in a better future, her religiosity and her faith, even if overwhelmed by doubts, fears, anger and despair at times. — Maria Regina de Mongiardim
Riding with the Silver Wolf reads as a bridge between poetic artistry and spiritual inquiry. It belongs to that rare category of works that expand perception while restoring faith in beauty, humanity and the creative spirit. This is a book to be experienced, savoured, an antidote to a rushed life. Every page feels like a whispered conversation between the higher power and the universe itself. — Melanie Falvey
