I could not put this book down, but made myself because I wanted to try and roll it out and make it last. Giorno's ability to write such intimate and revealing details with complete detachment and non-judgement, reveals his commitment and practice of Buddhism, and his natural state of being-ness which seems to me as one who was absolutely present and understood his natural and complete-yet-evolving growth of self irregardless of societal norms, and ways of being. An incredible life he shares with a rare honesty. I loved this book. I loved feeling as-if I were with him as he regarded his experiences, exploits, loves, and in turn reminded me why I am an artist and seeker, especially as (currently) hitting the one-year mark with Covid duress.
