About this listen
“It’s like you have to travel Ruins Road first, through the abandonment, to come out correctly,” a newfound friend tells Jon at Mesa Verde National Park.
Jon and Suzy share the freedom of summer on Jon’s motorcycle and sidecar following high school graduation. Their young love is filled with silliness and dreams of the future and starting college. But the futility of freshman year Basic Studies, requisites of little perceived value, and the rigors of Math class where pedantic professors proclaim, “Given: blah, blah, blah… solve for x” become too much for Jon. Directionless and despondent, he drops out of college and breaks up with Suzy. Is there a way other than the traditional track through college?
Jon turns inward, with no self-esteem and no path forward. But when he embarks on a cross-country motorcycle journey, he begins to grasp perspectives wider than the western vistas and gain insight into the spirituality of what is truly “Given.”
A timeless story, perhaps more relevant today than when it was partially written many years ago.
