About this title

Synopsis

After coming out as gay, Jason feels compelled to leave his home in Tennessee.

Hoping to create a new life in Oregon, he takes a job as a companion/housekeeper/caregiver to an elderly man named Thomas. It turns out that Thomas has been expecting him and, with just a few weeks left to live, he tells Jason they are to share with the world a very different story of creation.

With the love of his deceased wife ever in his mind and the promptings of his "guide," Karl, Thomas weaves for Jason a new creation myth filled with love and purpose - a myth that deeply challenges Jason.

How do you translate mystical experiences in a language easily understood within our normal reality? How does the weirdness of quantum mechanics fit into a cause-and-effect world? Those questions have challenged the greatest teachers and the everyday seeker of the truth. They challenge Thomas as well.

No one can contain the infinite and put it into finite words. Yet there are steps that can be taken to invite the infinite into our experience, for it is only through direct experience that we can begin to grasp the true nature of our being.
