Throwing Rocks at Ducks

Throwing Rocks At Ducks describes what happens when a Buddhist confronts vicious hoodlums committing acts of cruelty to animals. The essay develops into a meditation on the usefulness of peaceful resistance and raises the possibility that civil disobedience might be obsolete in our modern world of violence and injustice.

Chance confronts the ugly reality of drug addiction, while Convalescence shows that sometimes love is stronger than hate. River Man, a short homage to Nick Drake’s classic song, rounds out this small volume.
