Lessons in Coming and Going or Neti-neti (Not this not that) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218614485)

In the grand American tradition of Jack Kerouac, Woody Guthrie and Mark Twain, Rusty Glicksman made travel a vocation - a quest for "kicks and truth" that led him over three decades through Europe and Asia to the roof of the world, Tibet. An heir to the Beat Generation and a veteran of the protest movements of the 1960's, he smoked dope and fell for exotic women on a path to something deeper--- a compassionate love that reached out to everyone from lepers and flood victims to a living exemplar in the Dalai Lama. He found a second home in India, a taste of enlightenment in Hinduism and Buddhism, and a personal bridge across the chasm between Eastern mysticism and his Jewish heritage. Rusty died in 2021, leaving this, his story of lessons learned through the transformative power of travel, beginning and ending with the Kol Nidrei, a prayer for humanity.
