In a world that has forgotten how to listen, nine travelers set out from nine different traditions — a merchant from the silk roads, a mother in a refugee camp, a monk on a vanishing mountain, a scientist who has lost faith in measurement, a healer who can no longer save the one she loves, a wanderer who has misplaced his own name, an artist painting on the walls of her grief, a warrior who has laid down his sword, and a silent one who speaks only in dreams. They do not know each other. They are walking the same path. ...
