Overview of All Our Waves Are Water: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment and the Perfect Ride Book

For Jaimal Yogis, the path to enlightenment is surfing. Between water and air, between control and surrender, between the tangible and intangible realities of life, the spiritual can be found. Born to a family of seekers, he 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 indomitable 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 and the dusty streets of Jerusalem; and finally to San Francisco s Ocean Beach. Along his journey, Jaimal prays and he surfs; mourning a lost love and seeking something that keeps eluding him, until he ultimately finds what he s been looking for that the perfect ride may well be the one we are on right now. 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 Divine that unites us all.
