The Archaeologist of My Souls : 1 in 8.3 Billion
I asked an AI to calculate my statistical probability of surviving my life.
It said: 1 in 8.3 billion.
Essentially impossible.
Childhood sexual abuse. At 5, I attempted to murder my mother's rapist. AIDS epidemic San Francisco. Severe alcoholism. Meth. Coke. Sex. Brother murdered. Strangled twice. 28 deaths witnessed by age 29.
And that was just the beginning.
I shouldn't be here.
But I am.
I am now 61.
I’ve seen. Some shit.
A spiritual memoir from a gay man who survived impossible odds. 1 in 8.3 billion.
I started writing a book about surviving.

This is about how your past holds layers of meaning you haven’t tuned into yet. About how love can travel backward through time.
This is the excavation of an impossible life.

I didn't do it.
But the fact that I could tells you everything about what was coming.
72% of boys who experience this don't make it to 25.
I'm 61.
