FORTUNATO is a front row seat on one man's journey back to self...a parable of living and loving. Join our protagonist, Earnest (by name and nature) as he traverses continents and decades metabolizing all of the necessary joy, heartbreak and confusion that we all must ingest on our path home.
"You may come to appreciate, as I have, that all of the adventure and beauty that have befallen me in this lifetime, are born from spirit not mind; for the mind has consistently failed and misled, cajoled and confused; while manifest inspiration lay hidden in the sweet divinity of thoughtlessness."

The 21 Noble Quotes Of Jethro Sheikh Spear
We who love to write have the exquisite idea that words are part of our reflexes nevertheless I have am fond of writing also because I know definitely what I hold as my ideology. It is to this reason unlike most authors in wattpad who write poetry and stories, I do write messages that may represent stories in thousand of ways (differentiated by characters and scenes). This isn't meant not to distinguish my writtings but is for more educational and insipration which makes sure entertainment doesn't surpass the message. For beginning reasons I have choosen the book, be of not just words but explanation of the words in simple yet slightly twisted manner in a way new quotes rise from explaning the entitled one. For the sake of our reflexes, let's do what we do profoundly. Enjoy the reading, for knowledge and for fun!Complete
