The 23rd Stone.

The 23rd Stone contains 22 short works of prose exploring dissolution and rebuilding from an autobiographical perspective. The writer's influences include Buddhism, Robert Anton Wilson, Christopher S. Hyatt, Israel Regardie, Carlos Castaneda, past drug abuse, bad luck, individualist anarchism, Humanistic psychology, Existentialist philosophy, and things rarely working out according to plan. These 22 stones represent reflections on the continuous ebb and flow of life from one man's perspective, and a refocusing on the necessity of staying atop that ebb and flow rather than drowning beneath it.
