Rudolph Wurlitzer's "The Drop Edge of Yonder"

Here's a excerpt from Rudolph Wurlitzer's remarkable novel, "The Drop Edge of Yonder". Zebulon Shook, Annie May, and Hatchet Jack have just finished imbibing Plaxico's old entheogenic brujo medicine. This paragraph describes Zebulon's experience:

"He wept at the energies threatening to consume him, motherly and loving, violent and terrifying, a warm hissing breeze that flowed through the strangled knots of his being. He knew what he had always known and had always forgotten: that he was composed of the same elements as the plants and animals and the rain, which was now spreading in thick sheets across the deep valley, followed by the sun and then the rumble of earthshaking thunder that suddenly transformed into the roar of a mountain lion. He was part of it all, a drop of water in the ocean, a crushed wild flower under the heel of an outlaw's boot, a sun-baked skeleton in the desert."
