Description
Awoken alone in alien surroundings filled with the incessant hum and tapping of machinery, Doc finds himself blind, immersed in pain with no recollection of how he has materialized in the intensive care unit. The quest for insights begins..."Sojourner of Polar Discord" chronicles the existential saga of Doc, an idealistic college student, plodding through the 1970s. Life is good with college life of friends, parties, and excursions out in the Arizona sun. Doc is carrying on, looking forward to the Thanksgiving break with a visit from his girlfriend as gradually he becomes aware of the unyielding approach of destiny. Doc's epiphany arrives during the holiday and erupts into prolific testimony that emanates a new worldview for him and those standing agape with wonder. He works ceaselessly and frenetically to cast down the eclectic tenets of his newly acquired self-actualization and wisdom on record. Doc collects his doctrine to spread the word back east about the evolutionary process spurred on by the Stream of Humanity. The world isn't quite ready for neither the word nor Doc's growing momentum for all things stimulating. The mission takes on a kaleidoscopic trajectory as Doc veers toward all impulses of the here-and-now. Venues vary, but Doc's unrelenting persona and energy create unforgettable impact for all encountered on his odyssey. He veers off conventional roads to find himself in the continuum of campy and absurd situations that leave him undaunted until his psyche inevitably burns out. Life reveals Doc crestfallen, confused, and starving for his former indomitable spirit as he wallows in a state filled with lassitude and lethargic soul. Dropping out of circulation, he laments his vigor-less existence as he fondly recalls his moments of exhilarated glory of the recent past. Like the Phoenix bird, Doc gradually emerges from the ashes of despair to reestablish the semblance of living only to be continually wondering and hoping for the return of his former prowe
