Goddess Seeker C S Talbott

Goddess Seeker is the account of Steven Jenny's immersion in the Nike Culture, allowing the spiritual experience to motivate, influence and alter his thoughts and actions, while shaping his way of life. It begins when he hears the voice of the late American distance runner, Steve Prefontaine say, "See; find J." Steven Jenny interprets the Prefontaine voice as guiding him to find Nike, the Greek goddess of Victory. Following his search through an Internet dating site, he selects three "Jens" who fit his ideal goddess. Simultaneously to his pursuit of these three goddesses, Steven Jenny's dream of a 3on3 basketball event outside Portland's Rose Garden arena begins blossoming. After running in Pre's footsteps in Eugene, Steven Jenny relocates to Beaverton and begins running daily around and throughout the Nike World Campus. He continues seeking support for his dream of "Nikefest," a full-fledged sports festival while seeking his victory zephyr.
