a Kerouac prayer
I bless you, all living things
I bless you in the endless past
I bless you in the endless present
I bless you in the endless future,
amen.
....and with that, along with fellow-vagabond, Japhy Ryder, a man in search of Solitude and Truth, Ray Smith, the narrator of The Dharma Bums, takes the reader on adventures into the high Sierras, and into isolation in a cabin in the Pacific Northwest above the clouds seeking the Zest of life.
The finest read of my Summer, published a year after On The Road.

This is beautiful. I'm not familiar with any of Kerouac's books. Thanks for the introduction, Phil.
Both books are now on the official list. Thanks for the recommendation Phil.
you're both welcome. :)
With parts of On The Road I kept a road atlas nearby just for fun.
btw...either one of you know what happened to dee dee's blog? Thanks in advance.
