A boy begins his life believing he must weave himself into existence. To become a tightly woven tale unto himself.Through illness, grief, ambition, misalignment, and awakening, he spins a private silk road-thread by fragile thread-seeking meaning in a world that values conquest over care. As he grows into a man, Orpheus learns to turn away from dominance and toward connection, from extraction and toward belonging. Along the way he loses, unlearns, and reshapes himself, until at last he finds Ariadne: an old friend, a long-lost constant, a mirror of intellect and heart.Their reunion is quiet, inevitable, and transformative. Love arrives not as performance, but as recognition. Together they build a life grounded in ethics, nature, and mutual becoming. But time, relentless and indifferent, begins to unspool Orpheus' memory. As his mind loosens its hold, Ariadne becomes the keeper of their shared story-the custodian of a legacy that refuses to vanish.Told in lyrical and philosophical prose, Spinning My Own Silk Road is a meditation on identity, devotion, ecological belonging, and love that endures beyond memory. A tale of two souls learning that meaning is not made by standing at the centre of the world, but by finding one's place within its weave.A romance.A reckoning.A legacy of care.
