Finding Found
“Find the flower girls who will help you remember what you already know, but have forgotten…” Crazy talk, even if muttered by the legendary 60’s indigenous activist Rolling Thunder himself. Death, divorce and ex-communication had brought Brian Tieleman to the brink, and the medicine man’s mysterious words would launch him on a clumsy, heartbreaking quest to rescue his discarded self.
Finding Found tells the true story of a snotty, drug-addicted surf punk turned spiritual sojourner unable to stop himself from destroying every relationship he’s ever held dear.
His surreal journey will take him from the sunny beaches of Malibu to the deserted dream of Rolling Thunder’s Metay Tantay hippie commune and all the way back to the shocking roots of Charles Manson’s stabbing of the American psyche, laying bear the demons of childhood abuse while offering a path toward healing and hope.
Part witty and insightful memoir, part sublime meditation on the nature of self, God, and all that holds us in bondage, ‘Finding Found’ is a wild and naked dance into the heart of the human condition.
