A very young man cruising through the city park in 1966 on a small motorcycle encounters a beguiling woman, someone even younger then him, on a playground swing lost in contemplation. She shyly accepts a ride that sets up a friendship, perhaps a romance, which intermittently continues over the course of the next thirty years as their lives' paths move in very different directions. It's the story of two post war kids trying to find their way through drugs, rock and roll, college, and biological imperatives after the directions and myths imperfectly provided by their adult guides failed to provide guidance through the world where these young people now lived. Their story ends in tragedy for one and the survivor's late recognition of a very deep lost personal connection floundered on the shores of self regard and spiritual ignorance.

Frank Sarat found that his work as an engineer, later as a big firm lawyer, failed to fulfill his heart's desires. At age 54, his hard-pressed personal counselor asked him what he'd do if he were to ignore practical constraints. Freeing his mind, Sarat quipped he'd move to Mexico, pursue a passion for rock climbing, and write books. She had the boldness to respond - "What's stopping you? You only live once." After some modest reflection, Sarat made the irrevocable decision to move his feet to where his mouth played its games. Four months later and after rude disruptions to career, home, and family, Mr. Sarat sat alone on a Greyhound bus headed south. He climbed and wrote for six years until a near fatal accident forced him to find alternatives to climbing. Not without some difficulty, he eventually was welcomed back to home and family and recreated a solo lawyer career until retiring. But the writing had taken firm hold.
