Are You Sirius?

By Pauline Edwards

Life’s big questions – the existential ones – have been with me as long as I can remember. What is my purpose? Why is there suffering? What is this life and what happens after we die? Are we truly alone in the Universe, and if not, where are the others? I’ve been seeking in myself, in dreams, nature, relationships, spirituality...for the answers...
