<p>Jameel Shaheed, Born May 18, 1993, in Charlotte, NC, yet Matthews, NC has been his home for the majority of his life. A precocious individual, yet a devoted student of the mystical, an avid embracer of nature, and an astute observer of the things most individuals miss. He wrote his first book "Tears of The Dragon" in 2019, and which insights led to his self-proclaimed Magnum Opus "El Oasis del Dragón". Inspired by the poets and spiritual seekers of the past, his pen is guided by those who have attempted to explain the unexplainable. The call to share silence with words, and create a safe space for others to be themselves. If one event were to surmise his devotion to the mystical it would be, his "existential crisis" happened at 9 years of age. An event that generally only arises late in one's life has shaped his many insights into life and place in the world. Summarizing his work as an attempt to conceptualize every change in his life, no matter how bizarre or fantastic the imagery.</p>
