Rudi: The Final Moments – A Journey Through Loss, Love, and Transformation
Rudi: The Final Moments brings together two novellas, each exploring a powerful rite of passage. Through the loss of a parent and a teacher, the young protagonists are forced to confront their inner lives, leading to profound personal transformation.

Rudi: The Final Moments
At its core, this is a story of devotion—the deep, sacred bond between a spiritual teacher and his disciple. In February 1973, what began as a routine flight in a small Cessna airplane became a journey into the unknown. As Rudi, two students, and I flew toward Glens Falls, shifting from clear skies into an impenetrable fog, the experience unfolded as an allegory of wisdom, loss, and rebirth. Moving between past and present, thought and reality, this transcendental love story reveals sacred truths about life, death, and purpose—ultimately leaving nothing unchanged.

The Dancing Man
Set in the South Bronx, this surreal and deeply personal tale follows Joshua, a college student returning home to find his father dying. Haunted by visions of the enigmatic Dancing Man, Joshua is guided into a world where the boundaries of life and death blur, revealing the hidden wisdom passed down through generations. Drawing from the streets of my childhood and the fevered imagination of a storyteller, this is both a love story and a tale of survival, where street smarts meet the mysteries of existence.
Both novellas weave together themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, offering a meditation on how profound truths emerge from life's most challenging moments
