I guess after the healing inside my body, the way I look has been just as difficult to accept. I hated the way people stared at me after I lost my hair. The indention in my head also bothered me a lot. I know it is never going to go away, and the child in me wanted to fill it in with Silly Putty. I felt like the monster in "The Goonies" until Steve changed that for me in the blink of an eye. Without even asking, he put his finger in the indention on my head and said to me, "God put His hand on you and said, 'this is my Patsy '" That one statement changed the way I thought about my "look" and took all of the hurt about it away. He helped me see that I am truly one of God's special children

In" Diary of a Holy Fool," author Vincent Parmentola expresses his spiritual insights in a language rich in prose and poetry designed to capture the profound meaning of his phenomenal adventures while on the path of self-discovery. Inspired by the words of Jalaluddin Rumi, the great Persian poet (1207-1273), Parmentola traces his journey to find spiritual perfection and closeness to God. The path of enlightenment is a journey of the spirit and of discovering one's true self, the authentic being that abides at the very center of our consciousness and attempts to answer the eternal questions: Who am I? What is the purpose in my being here?

This is a journey of wonder and surprises consisting of peaks, valleys, and the occasional plateau, when nothing seems to be happening, at least to the conscious mind. Parmentola recalls a time when outward success as a fashion designer was a distracting camouflage for the discontent rumbling-a rumbling that led to his discovery of Rumi and the beginning of his journey of self-discovery.

By sharing his exciting personal experiences and thoughts in "Diary of a Holy Fool," Parmentola hopes to enliven, motivate, and encourage those with the desire to undertake their own journey of spiritual awakening.
