Description

'Edward' is a short story that counts the story of a foreign man and a local boy meeting in Manila, Philippines. Frederic, a well-educated Frenchman, who had spent four years in a monastery in the Provence, travels to Manila after having quit the monastic life in a rather brusque �lan, and following a clear decision: while he had achieved a higher sensitiveness and self-awareness through the consciousness work and spiritual practice he had pursued, he had not found a final answer and solution to his existential problems, nor even his homosexuality that he had kept in a sad and repressed condition.In Manila, then, Fred hoped to find answers, and a true love life. His hopes were not vain for he meets Edward, a charming and intelligent local rent-boy at the beach. They spend a day with talks, restaurant visits, and philosophical exchanges from theosophy to Krishnamurti, and great questions like the sense of life or how to find true happiness and live in the present moment.After a night spent together, Fred decides to stay in Manila in order to realize an old project for street children. His lengthy conversations with Edward show him that the young boy commands over leadership and management skills he himself lacks out on and that are vital for the realization of his charity project. In addition, his fulfilled love with Edward shows Fred that all what he had been searching for in all those years of self-actualization was now in reach through this true love relation and that he could finally realize spiritual transcendence. Suddenly and unexpectedly for him, all the doors not only to his true love map but also the realization of a higher charitable purpose in life are at his fingertips.
