Through Kaleidoscopes

by Charles E. Whaley

Through Kaleidoscopes uses the psychedelic experience to illustrate and examine the basic questions of life; who am I, and why am I here?

As the narrator starts to come up, they're giddy and spellbound, thinking about their life's sorrows and enchantments. The trip intensifies and examination of life grows deeper. At the peak, the narrator plunges through the Fool's Journey of the Major Arcana, before gracefully coming down with a twinkle of magic in their eye.

Poetic verse paints Through Kaleidoscopes with vibrant, symbolic imagery as we seek to understand what life is all about.
