There was an early Sufi martyr of the 12th Century called Hallaj" who in fact suffered the cruel fate of being dismembered because he committed the heretical act of saying "I am the truth" This one of the names of God in Islam. His fate is almost identical to the theme running through mnoonshadow. I found it very interesting because "moonshadow" was written many years before Cat converted to Islam. I thought he might have been "channelled", which sometimes happen to poets, artists and musicians, that is, the inspiration comes from some "other place." I am a student of Islam and Sufism from AUstralia. Peter Lauren,
