Traveling East, Driving West: Nine Stories

These stories are about rebirth: learning to live in the world again after facing an emotional and spiritual desert, facing space where questions and answers end.  Most of the nine stories rely upon imagery and sound to create meaning where “story” ends.  All present characters with life-creating questions, questions whose answers cannot be sought in the company of others or through the words of others; these are questions whose contemplation gives rise to answers as large as our world and as silent.  The reader is left at the end of each facing the landscape of the West while oriented toward the spiritual East.
