When soon after I started to meditate, I seemed to find myself inside of the beautiful birds body, flying so free. It was a beautiful feeling, the feeling of free flight, and I was able to fly wherever I wished and when suddenly I returned to my own body, there underneath the tree, I felt like a new person. I felt as if I was one with all that surrounded me in nature. The Fearless Falcon Where time is lost and truth begins, the chains are finally broken.

The book I wrote is entitled "They Called Me Cochise" due to the fact that the Italian fans nicknamed me Cochise or Kociss in Italian. It's a autobiographical novel regarding my life as a pro basketball player during the early seventies, during the hippy generation. After playing at the University of Rhode Island and becoming one of the all-time top scorers and rebounders, I was drafted by the Lakers but went to Italy to play on the European Championship team, Ignis Varese.

One accomplished sports writer, Marco Tarozzi who is such an admirer of Jack Keroac that he went to the States to visit his grave, generously compared it to "On The Road" due to its page turning adventurous life descriptions and fast paced style! He also wrote that he believes tha
