Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was raised by a caring and loving scientist who taught me from a very early age how to question and search, and who encouraged me to quest deeply into the silence between my thoughts. I was blessed with a mother who believed I had the intelligence to find my own way, and who was always there to reel me in by the same ropes I sometimes used to nearly hang myself.

I had just turned nineteen when I bought a one-way ticket to Australia, with only twenty dollars left over when I stepped out of the plane. "Journeys" is the story of the ensuing 50 year quest.

Jad-bal -ja is the name with which we christened our ancient, big-bellied, lap-plank fishing boat when my wife and I became fishermen in a tiny village on the Caribbean island of Grenada. Our fellow fishermen then christened me Jad--bal-ja, too.

To some people, my journey may seem too unguided and unconventional, without a well-grounded career with proper vesting and tenure. I would say to these people, “I have felt the pulse of the heart of darkness and looked head on into the light of the sacred. I’m no guru, but I offer you this look into who I am in the hope that you might let go of yourself for a little while, look out at the world through Jad-bal-ja’s eyes, and maybe see who you are, too.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read!

I found this book to be not only fun to read but also full of the most amazing stories. From strangling a Kangaroo, to impressing some french girls by escaping a charging bull, to fishing for the big ones in Granada, and finally to dealing with death itself this book will cause you to both laugh and cry. Jad BalJa will take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
