Until Shadows Lengthen A Pilgrim's Sojourn

This is a story about pilgrimage, a practice found in every faith tradition, since the first spark of human consciousness. Pilgrimage endures because, perennially, it charts the trajectory in the mystery in and between life and death, beginnings and ends, mortality and eternity.Colin Harpswell, the protagonist of the novel, is in his heart a pilgrim, an itinerant seeker of a place of belonging. The arc of his life moves him from the wild zeal of fundamentalism to the sacred order of priests to the darknight of the soul. In all of this, from the Heartland to Boston to India, immersed in the cultural, political, and spiritual cataclysms of his generation, in his dreams and conscious reality, in joy and despair, blessing and loss, his journey brings him to safe lodging and peace at the last.
