Description
Peter - or is it Pedro? - is about to wake up from prolonged emotional hibernation to discover what really makes him tick. Follow him on his journey from L.A. to Phoenix to the tropical, mosquito-brined coast of Mexico - an oh-so-human departure from numb suffering into the fearless terrain of wild awakening. From the Author: Make no mistake, this book is Peter's voice. We call it a "novel" rather than an autobiography because the man telling the story has yet to show up in the flesh, sporting non-fiction i.d. to prove his existence. Fictional or not, it is a work of truth. The fact that this story has an author simply means there is a woman who had enough discipline, stamina and love to write every day and listen well. What Peter experienced is what we're all here to discover. That we are in charge of our own story and the actions of others are valuable context for self-creation. That, no matter what nonsense entangles or hypnotizes you, love is liberating and you must let it have its way with you if you prefer to bypass suffering. That we are here to move beyond fear and activate compassion by recognizing, when it comes to understanding others, we rarely know the half of it. And when it comes to knowing ourselves we know even less.
