OUR COMMON GROUND with Janice Graham OUR GUEST: Author, Jamal Ali The Heart Fire Rendezvous Trilogy More than a love story, it is an adventure of fulfilling destiny, engaging purpose, woven with several cultural threads and tapestries, across landscapes some myths do not know. The stories have been described as a M’aat centered, “Lord of the Rings”, a story for “the peoples of the tropics.” Three stories of love and history, to the more complex mind seeking to explore the mysticism and power of the golden fabric woven through time and souls. Ali brings the best of Shange’s relearning knowledge to Butler’s challenge to believe the unbelievable based on newly processed knowledge. They help us to begin to remember, hidden stirrings within ourselves, those moments of wonder and connection linking us to the planet, instead of the world. We are brought to layers of tropical human civilizations, thick with spirit and ritual, science, magic and powers which have no name. We discover history often overlooked, see time through the eyes of ancient cultures and taste destiny.
