about

The Life and Times of a Radiant Child is a story about the birth of a child that loses his light. The light being his individuality and all that he possesses within himself to offer the world. As he grows, he fights to recover it as he advances through the stages of life battling unfulfillment. His consumption of the world brings him no relief. He searches for peace relentlessly, but often finds himself traveling dark roads with nothing of value at the end. However, in a twist of his fate, he finds love in the midst of war which turns out to be everything that he needs to find his light again.

To Mom,
all my love...
