RONALD SCHULZ was born in 1952 in Chicago. He dropped out to explore the Sixties radical counterculture before hitchhiking across Europe and Africa on a roundabout Buddhist pilgrimage to Nepal. Now a semi-retired hobo, and a new author writing his honest history of those tumultuous times, he hopes to honor the memory of departed friends before he too vanishes from this planet. He has taken advanced writing classes at the University of Washington and Hugo House and lives in Seattle, writing a series of honest memoirs: Chicago Rage, Home at the Edge, Party at the Edge of the Rainbow, Teenage Runaway, and Chasing Karma, with many more to follow.

Ronald is a father of two, and grandfather of three, who believes in living life to the fullest, reg

The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975" by Pat Thomas takes on the vast musical scene during the time that I am also writing about. I just picked up a copy today and from just skimming it, I am engrossed by the excellent photography as well as his written coverage of those times. It brings me back to an era that still holds me spellbound, so full of courageous optimism as people of all backgrounds came together to build a new, revolutionary community of solidarity. Whether we succeeded or failed is a mute point, because we took on so much that continues to simmer below the surface to erupt anew when the winds of history become favorable, as in a California wildfire sweeping all before it as I write, because we ain't done yet. We are old and must pass the torch to those as young as we were to those as full of the same spirit to right the wrongs we see and feel in our political and social community. It is a deep dive, so read and tell me what you think about the book and our evolving times. (less)

My review of The Rolling Stone Book of the Beats

The Rolling Stone Book of the Beats is composed of the writings of many who were, knew, or were influenced by the Beatniks, as they came to known.

The article by Douglas Brinkley titled The American Journey of Jack Kerouac is my best deep dive into Jack, and I am sympathetic to him. If only he exercised more Buddhist admonitions for compassion and self-control over his drinking, who knows, he might Read more of this blog post »

Kristin Newman
“When you travel, you're forced to have new thoughts. "Is this alley safe?" "Is this the right bus?" "Was this meat ever a house pet?" It doesn't even matter what the new thoughts are, it feels so good to just have some variety. And it's a reboot for your brain. I can feel the neurons making new connections again with new problems to solve, clawing their way back to their nimbler, younger days.”
― Kristin Newman, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding

Henry David Thoreau
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
― Henry David Thoreau

Kristin Newman
“I wanted love, but I also wanted freedom and adventure, and those two desires fought like angry obese sumo wrestlers in the dojo of my soul.”
― Kristin Newman, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding

Kristin Newman
“To me, marriage was an ending, not a beginning. A stone on my chest. A giving-up, a decision to walk away from an interesting life for one just like everyone else’s. Much more “ever after” than “happily.”
― Kristin Newman, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding

Anagarika Govinda
“I shall never forget the peace of his hermitage amidst the eternal snows and the lesson he taught me: that we cannot face the Great Void before we have the strength and greatness to fill it with our entire being. Then the Void is not the negation merely of our limited personality, but the Plenum-Void which includes, embraces and nourishes it, like the womb of space in which the light moves eternally without ever being lost.”
― Anagarika Govinda, The Way of the White Clouds
