An inspiring love story for ourselves, each other and the world.


Love and Truth come alive as poignant and compelling characters in this timeless wisdom tale that touches the heart and wakens the soul of the world echoed within each of us. Presented in the spirit of ancient storytelling used to pass down wisdoms through the generations, The Story is set in the “hinterlands of time,” as an Older and Younger sit under the Tree of All-Knowing, discussing things of the world and the non-world. The Older invites the Younger to ask one question uppermost in mind and heart. And so the Younger asks, “Wise one, I would like to know which is greater—love or truth?” In answer, the Older offers a story…(see below)

The compelling 'characters' of Love and Truth take us on a journey of losing and finding self and each other, and coming back to what matters most. Truth's 'independent notion' to go out into the world by itself to find its 'truer self' doesn't quite turn out as it had hoped. Without Love by its side, Truth becomes lost in the world–lost to Love, lost finally even to itself. And then one day, Love decides to go in search of the Truth it never stopped believing in. And finds so much more. 

Paradoxical, poignant and universally spiritual, The Story of Love & Truth speaks to all ages and walks of life. Simply told, yet with layers of depth, it is one of those works that comes along every so often to remind us of who we truly mean to be. A tribute to the saving powers of empathy, compassion and courage, The Story of Love & Truth  resonates profoundly with our time. Touching the heart and the soul of the world in all of us, it contains echoes of Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince, Susan Trott‘s The Holy Man trilogy, Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, The Fox and the Horse, and more.

An inspiring love-and-wisdom tale for group read-aloud, book clubs, community discussion groups, classrooms, consciousness events and personal/planetary harmony and peace -- as well as for lovers, partners, weddings & anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, relationship celebration or healing, birthdays, grads, kids/family.
