The Fire Festival is the story of a young man's spiritual journey as he struggles through a world that considers him a stain on the white-cloth of existence. His life is an utter paradox. He journeys forth, juxtaposing the dim melodies of passion that arise in his heart with the loud roar of isolation and outcast imposed upon him by his surrounding world. Though he experiences fleeting Everest-high moments of love, he continues to be scorched in society's oven of values as they explode around him in full heat. Ultimately, it is only through seeing life's fire as an opportunity for deep spiritual transformation that he recognizes the divine destiny of his journey.Though the story of an individual, this novel symbolically charts the journey and struggle of the soul of humanity to discover the raging beauty of our true divine heritage. As this narrative explores the many ways of seeing and inscription, it not only becomes a meta-fiction but also hits at the heart of true metaphysics and much that we claim to know.
