About this product
Product Information
These stories, all based in the factual, apparently real world, started 30 or 40 years ago, when I was 30 or 40, travelling in Rajasthan, where I was again given the opportunity to learn from the cry of 'Jai Matadji!' - Long live the goddess, the eternal feminine! Absolutely! So all, or nearly all, these stories are about the unattainable feminine, who cant be captured, cant be contained, cant be conquered. And of course, all stories are about you. So many stories are about sex or death, rarely birth, because we are only (apparently) interested in the new: birth we have done - it is only death we have yet to experience. And sex, of course, is always new. And while most of the stories we hear are about sex or death, all travel is about change. Ideally one discovers something new of the world, and, ideally, something new of oneself. For many people travel is more about the experience than what can be learned - in the words of T S Eliot, and refreshed for me by John Marsden - We had the experience but missed the meaning. These stories are, hopefully, more about the meaning than the experience. Having said all that, these stories, whilst absolutely true, are fictional, and thus do t refer to any person, living or dead. The use of the proun 'I' does t refer to me, the author. And if any of the stories are particularly challenging to process, there are brief tes at the very end. Never, never take the same path twice.
