Have you ever felt that there has to be more to life than this? Amidst all the chaos and uncertainty of our existence, there seems to be a burning ache inside each of us, drawing us towards some unknown purpose. As we search for the source and fulfillment of our desires, our passions lead us to discover that some paths leave us cold, while others bring us closer to the fire of our truest longings. This is a book about that search, in all of its complexities and paradoxes. "Fire" is the first book of the Elemental Endeavors series. Using poetry, prose, and photography, T. Jason Vanderlaan explores the concepts of chaos and creativity, uncertainty and possibility, passion and our desire for true life.
