The insatiable quest for answers and the eternal desire for knowledge about how things work, knowing where we came from, where we are going, and why we do the things we do every day of our lives in a desire to get away from the chaotic, mundane spectacle and monotony, in searching for unknown, new experiences in each and every one of the cities of Bolivia, Mar ends up finding something much more valuable and unexpected than a simple tourist trip. She ends up finding the best gift, the gift of knowing who we are and what we are made of. Failing to realize that we are deep in our own problems, we have lost so much time worrying about survival that we have forgotten entirely what it means to live.

In the author's words, "As a 16 year old shifting schools in the eleventh grade, these poems were written over a period of two years and are a product of my experiences. This is not a mere collection of poems but rather a repository of my deepest feelings that I could not bring myself to express to the world. My writing speaks, when I cannot."
