Maya is a Hindu goddess, as well as a concept often described as 'the illusory nature of reality or the illusion of creation'. But as the author shows in this profound and poetic work, this does not necessarily have a negative connotation. If we understand that illusion is part of the great law of life, we can learn to play the 'games of Maya' by her rules. We can make friends with Maya, admire her ingenuity and see the beauty of her creations, which have the purpose of ensuring that life continues. Delia Steinberg Guzm
