There is a rhythm to life, fall to winter, spring to summer, the Moon waxes and wanes, the tides rise and fall, and some people are struck down and have to rise back up. Sometimes repeatedly. This book covers the loves and passions of a young man, and what it feels like - to be a victim of the war on drugs, to fall seven stories wide awake, to go through rehab, study Okinawan Karate, go to the Sweat Lodge, train to be a shaman, have a mystical love for Nature - and what it feels like to travel the journey from being a Southern Baptist reject to become an esoteric Sweat Lodge Christian.

This three-book autobiography in poetry covers the first forty years of an unusual life. He begins as a soccer star and senior class president, who four months after graduation falls seven stories, who then in a wheelchair, writes, coaches, practices Karate, and spends three years training to be shaman. Although Day is what Bob Marley calls "a natural mystic," like so many of his generation, he dealt with periods of partying too hard and exhibiting what seemed like self-destructive behavior. His first forty years - his spiritual journey, his loves, the dark side, all the near-death experiences, political, religious, and social commentary, his love of Nature and Mother Earth - it is a complex life revealed in poetry. Although Day began writing poetry in early adolescence, the first book begins his senior year and covers the next turbulent twelve years. The second book in the trilogy is a complete love affair and covers a couple of years. The third book is more or a normal poetry collection taking him to forty. Roy has attempted to make it almost exclusively poetry, but has supplied enough prose to provide context for the interested.
