Sewing His Own Garment is my autobiography, written in 2006. At the same time it is a form of literature that may contribute to a new genre. I personally have not seen an autobiography that springs from an I Ching reading! Yet, in following my method, I found personal memories spontaneously arose and I wrote them down as they presented themselves. Along with the memories, hints of an unfolding future emerged in the course of my writing and so I included them too, as my method demands. As I have described elsewhere my method involves:
A spontaneous weaving of realities that we normally keep well apart. My writing moves from a memory to a dream to a reflection of an external event, to an etymological study of a word, to the words of another author until the usual separation of inner and outer dissolves.
