Mevlud's Way

Mevlud's Way is an enchanting journey in the style of magical realism where the imagination and the outside world are recognized by the eye of the inner heart. It is a journey that appears on the outside with the background of its main character arriving from a village on top of a mountain in southern Italy to the metropolitan environment of New York City. But, as all larger than life characters are wont to do the main character, Mevlud, turns New York into the simple environment of a village and his inner life becomes the macrocosm that is served by this city. As he traverses its landscape, he moves with and through characters that point to a life and a love that transcends mundane life as sparked by the divine. Mevlud's Way will appeal to those fellow travelers who cross the boundaries of race, culture, blood-ties and religions and merge in a place somewhere over the horizon that can be seen only by the inner eye of those who are all too human - a true human being as someone who submits to a larger enterprise; a place that contains all and yet nothing of what the eyes can see. Those inclined towards Sufism, Buddhism, mysticism, and in general, seekers of a path to an understanding leading out of or away from the generally accepted ideas of what is what will find this novel as a service to this expression of wanting to find a life full of love and meaning that can last a lifetime and make its way into eternity.
