Space between the Stars (pg. 181-232)

Summary
In the chapters of Space Between the Stars by Deborah Santana were recently explored it explains Deborah's path that she finds that she believes completes her. At the point in the novel Deborah is in New York with Carlos Santana; her boyfriend she is recently dating. In New York Carlos is recording a song and also visiting a friend who is a disciple who follows the path of a Guru. While they stayed in New York they began to get deeper into the spiritual word of meditation. When they begin to get deeper into meditation they find the meaning behind meditating, coming to peace with ones self, and learning to make sacrifices. Deborah and Carlos was later invited to stay in New York and become true disciples. This created a climax in the novel. This was the climax in the novel because Deborah was not sure she was ready to give up her lifestyle and change it to begin on a new purified road. As for Carlos he was confused because he was not sure he was meant to follow this certain Guru and he didn't not want to cut his hair. Making a decision that was to change their lives forever was very hard because they were so young and they were not sure if it was time. The denouement came when they each decided that they would become disciples. Since they became disciples it gave them each a deeper look at their paths and kept them moving forward with the new rules they would abide by for their new profound life as newlyweds.

Quote
"Our Beliefs and openness to spirituality united us in a way that had never been close with anyone before. I felt deeply in love after having thought i could never love again, because i was speaking, living, and acting from what i believed to be true..."(Santana 184).

Reaction
This quote is a great realization to what Deborah Santana has experienced. Since she has been meditating she begins to see things more clear rather than before. In Deborah's past she had mad choices to where it created many limitations for her were she did not know what love was or even think twice about the people that she was hurting around her. I believe that meditating does clean the soul, body and mind because what i have experienced reading Deborah words. In the novel Space Between the Stars by Deborah Santana the words come together as facts and warnings. Deborah words are to influence the mind of a young adult to explain to them its never to late to love and even change your life around but that is only if you want it for yourself.
