In Paris in Springtime: An Episode, author Andrew Webster charts his distressing and colourful world of 'madness'. His manic depression takes him to France where he destroys his driving licence, passport and credit cards believing that this will give him new freedom. Within a day of leaving a comfortable hotel, he is homeless on the streets of Paris, without money, destitute. His paranoia has him convinced he is being hunted. In this exhausted and fragile state he has a spiritual experience: believing that he is living the Christ-Consciousness; the Initiations of the Initiate's journey. Writing has helped Andrew heal trauma.
