nIn this meditative memoir--a compelling fusion of Barbarian Days and the journals of Thomas Merton--the author of Saltwater Buddha reflects on his failing toward enlightenment, his continued search to find meaning and a greater understanding of grace in the worlds oceans as well as everyday life.n nBorn to a family of seekers, Jaimal Yogis left home at sixteen to surf in Hawaii and join a monastery--an adventure he chronicled in Saltwater Buddha. Now, in his early twenties, his heart is broken and hes lost his way. Hitting the road again, he lands in a monastery in Dharamsala, where he meets Sonam, a displaced Tibetan. n nTo help his friend, Jaimal makes a cockamamie attempt to reunite him with his family in Tibet by way of America. Though he does not succeed, witnessing Sonams spirit in the face of failure offers Jaimal a deeper understanding of faith. When the two friends part, he cannot fathom the unlikely circumstances that will reunite them. n nAll Our Waves Are Water follows Jaimals trek from the Himalayas to Indonesia; to a Franciscan Friary in New York City to the dusty streets of Jerusalem; and finally to San Franciscos Ocean Beach. Along his journey, Jaimal prays and surfs; mourning a lost love and seeking something that keeps eluding him.n nThe poet Rumi wrote, We are not a drop in the ocean. We are the ocean in a drop. All Our Waves Are Water is Jaimals attempt to understand the ocean in a drop, to find that one moon shining in the water everywhere--to find the mystery that unites us.n n n
