The Sands of Experience

"In the frenzied pursuit of our dreams, we are like the greedy bandits in The Treasure of The Sierra Madre, who unwittingly discard bags of gold dust into the desert winds, thinking them worthless sacks of sand. Each of us carries our own unassuming sack of experience. Is that sack filled with mere sand, an unwanted burden to be thrown off and forgotten, or might it be filled with something lighter, something of immeasureably greater value?" (from the prologue) The Sands of Experience is a moving odyssey of the human spirit, the story of a contemporary man's search for happiness. His quest takes him from the redlight districts of Bangkok to the mystics heights of Machu Picchu; from the labyrinth of human relationships to the magical world of dreams; from the corridors of wealth and power to the temples of spiritual discovery. Comic. tragic, intimate, and above all, honest, The Sands of Experience deals insightfully with the difficult issues we must all face on the path to maturity and selfhood. At the same time it is a delightful and enthralling literary experience, a beautifully written real life adventure with a compelling message of acceptance and love. -- from book's back cover
