Zen Chronicles from the Mother Road

This book chronicles the adventures of 6 friends who follow Route 66 from Illinois to New Mexico. For those who invite it, the Mother Road is a zazen experience of the past awakening in the now. But staying awake on the journey requires the full attention of the traveler. The careless observer is likely to see only the decay and not the daily resurrection of the phoenix that often lies just beneath the surface of what the naked eye can see. After reading The Zen Chronicles from the Mother Road, you may have to make the journey too.
