A Planetary Sojourn

The 73-year-old author has done it all - survived war, bombs, mother's assassination, abandonment, changes of languages and cultures. Maturing from a curiously privileged child to an impoverished young adult, he progressed from Bohemianism to Zen to Anabaptist cult to avant-garde electronic composer to hippy shaman on two rural open-door communes bulldozed by county authorities. Finally, he emerged from this metaphorical, emotional tsunami to a joy-filled life with a wonderful wife and three great sons, who encourage him to pursue Solar Consciousness across the sunlit meadows of Mt. Meru to the tune of his own spiritual discoveries. Amazing!
