Sleeping In Caves A Sixties Himalayan Memoir

In 1965, Stablein drops out of Berkeley and travels to India and Nepal with her lover. Their brief get away turns into a 7 year stay. There are times when I ask myself, Stablein writes, What am I am doing here? My answer: to paint, to study a culture to uncover its secrets to listen to the whisperings, the sacred oral traditions to learn by heart the names and faces of deities so I can capture their images on paper and strive to imbue each image with the greatness of its namesake.
