Flowers Leaning Toward the Sun - Softcover

Spirituality isn't what you think and enlightenment is not a bunch of chanting om and lotus petals. "Flowers Leaning Toward the Sun" is a book about the spiritual maturing of a 21st century American. In his book, Ry Downey paints a picture of what it's like trying to find one's soul in the advertisement-soaked, media-driven machine of a late-capitalist American society. Following the highs and lows of a consciousness on the brink of understanding "something about something," "Flowers Leaning Toward the Sun" is a Zen Punk touchstone for understanding what it's like to be a human on planet earth, alive and awake at this critical point in time.This book is a love child of Bukowski and Rumi, combining Bukowski's blunt honesty with the eternal wonder of Rumi. This is something new.
