Little Wave and Old Swell: A Fable of Life and Its Passing

This timeless tale recounts the journey across the sea made by impetuous Little Wave and his teacher, Old Swell. Their allegorical adventures promote discussion of the age-old questions: Where did I come from? What is the nature of life? What happens when I die? Little Wave's discovery that he is composed not of water, but of energy, illustrates the truth that humans are more than just physical forms. The simple metaphor of a wave rising out of the ocean, learning important lessons, then sinking back to the place it came from, imbues a universal mystery with a charm both uncomplicated and strangely familiar.Ballard, Jim is the author of 'Little Wave and Old Swell: A Fable of Life and Its Passing', published 2005 under ISBN 9781419600753 and ISBN 1419600753.
