First published 2008
A young seeker embarks on a transformative quest that takes him through diverse spiritual traditions and ways of understanding existence. As he moves from one path to another, he encounters teachers, practices, and revelations that challenge his assumptions about reality and purpose. His travels become both physical and metaphysical as he grapples with questions that blur the boundaries between fantasy and fact. The deeper he ventures into these varied approaches to wisdom, the more he must reconcile conflicting truths and forge his own understanding. Smith weaves together elements that dance between the mystical and the rational, creating a narrative where the protagonist's external wanderings mirror his internal transformation. The story builds toward a recognition that truth often defies conventional categories and that the imagination plays a crucial role in perceiving the fuller dimensions of life.
