Life suddenly changes for thirteen year old Olo when he is captured by Nadac, a hostile warrior. On a forced march across an open field, Olo looks up to see a rabbit falling from the clutches of an eagle. When he catches it, the superstitious warriors think he is a “chosen one” and take him before the chief’s council. There he is apprenticed to the elderly shaman, Temasah. Olo finds happiness in his new home except for Nadac’s taunts. Conflict and tensions escalate until Olo saves Nadac from drowning in the flood-swollen river. Proclaimed a hero, he must prepare for induction into the tribe, by going on a vision quest to face his fears, discover his spirit voice, and find his personal totem. Deep inside a cave, Olo falls from a crumbling rock ledge into frigid water. Wet, injured and alone in the dark, Olo is near panic when he asks, “Will I perish here in the bowels of Mother Earth?”
I wrote this to help the American audience repair its relationship with sex. It took twenty-one years to write this book. No one has ever used one’s own life as grounds for data gathering for sex. This book is not about tips and techniques but about philosophy. A female philosopher wrote this book. This book is a companion to The Meaning of a Metaphorical Life, a memoir that focuses on Christianity to show the inherent compatibility of sex with Christianity. This book is novel not only in content but also in format and style, where it is written as a collaboration between two people, both called me. The first part of the book is a giant quotation to maintain the integrity of what I had written previously as a younger person. The content of the first part of the book comes from me as a youthful writer. Footnotes come from me as editor.
At the age of six Olo left his family and fled from Tibet on his own. Currently, he studies as a boarding student at the Tibetan Children's Village in India operated by the Tibetan-Government-in-Exile.
