In these short pieces, Sun unveils remnants of his formative years in the 1970s counter-culture scene, his quest for spiritual awakening, the joys and tragedies of family life, and the ever-present call to excavate the extraordinary buried within the illusion of the ordinary world. These reflections waltz from stunning and startling to poignant and wise. This is a book to be sipped like a glass of fine wine. In the vein of \u003cem\u003eEveryday Sacred\u003c\/em\u003e by Sue Bender, these short pieces are glimpses - snapshots - each capturing a moment in time, offering shards of life's treasures to us cradled in open hands saying \"Here, hold this!\" In holding these stories, we honor the entire human experience for its amazing ability to charm, disarm, and enrich our hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e----------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Landlady paraphrases the stars: \u003cem\u003e\"Dicey is the new normal.\" \u003c\/em\u003eThe Centenarian Matriarch declares: \u003cem\u003e\"The weather has fallen overboard.
