In 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
world's oceans as well as everyday life. Born 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 he's lost his
way. Hitting the road again, he lands in a monastery in Dharamsala,
where he meets Sonam, a displaced Tibetan. To 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
Sonam's 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. All Our Waves
Are Water follows Jaimal's trek from the Himalayas to Indonesia; to
a Franciscan Friary in New York City to the dusty streets of
Jerusalem; and finally to San Francisco's Ocean Beach. Along his
journey, Jaimal prays and surfs; mourning a lost love and seeking
something that keeps eluding him. The poet Rumi wrote, "We are not
a drop in the ocean. We are the ocean in a drop." All Our Waves Are
Water is Jaimal's "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.
