About this title

Synopsis

A MAN
Though I didn't know it at the time, I heard the Siren's song within my mother's womb. Even before I was born, I was being drawn to my death.

A CAMERA
Thus begins the true story of a gifted photographer's quest for inner peace. Beautifully illustrated with 79 fine-art images, Fading Toward Enlightenment leads the reader on a modern-day hero's journey. From the anguish of self-loathing - past the traps of the mind, photographer and author Wayne Wirs poetically recounts his search for tranquility in the midst of today's fast-paced world.

A QUEST
Following no particular school of thought, Mr. Wirs recounts his journey from a typical, solid life to one that is dynamic, flowing and at times filled with the Divine. Fans of the The Celestine Prophecy, The Alchemist, and the Tao Te Ching will find a voice that resonates true in the author's poetic words and inspiring images.
