"Yaaaaaahoooooooooooo, I shouted as the white water took hold of us.

"Perfect, we took it Jus' Perfect!" from Alex as we went into the last chute. The rest of the river was Jus' Perfect also. The sound of the water singing and spraying your mind and body. the richness of the vegetation, the vastness of wind blown clouds, the natural beauty of the riverside grazed farmland was Jus' Perfect.

Out of the river,it isn't so perfect. Jack has a job, bills to pay, children to raise--the same struggle and suffering each of us face in an America that has lost its spiritual values. But there are glimpses of higher consciousness as Jack explores his nighttime dreams and daytime illusions. He touches on esoteric Christianity through the teachings of Gurdjieff and Krishnmurti and gets a different taste of the white water.

TASTING THE WHITE WATER is a very short novel, but for this particular reader, it took ages to finish. I think that this is due to the fact that I am very unfamiliar with the concepts that Mr. Daley has written about, so I felt I had to keep rereading excerpts so I could understand what was going on. This book is fictional, although it reads as a personal experience, and first and foremost is Jack's recounting of two white-water rafting day-trips. In the midst of these trips, Jack touches on a bit of his personal life, his dreams, and his belief in self-meditating through the teaching of Krishnmurti. For a reader that either enjoys rafting or understands Krishnamurti, I think this book would be a pleasurable read.
