This collection of poetry by Central California poet and artist, Gustavo Rodriguez Jr is what remains after a storm threatens, hurts but also a same storm that watered and healed a dry, thirsty land. Each poem a puddle of rain reflecting from within. In Vagabond in a Footstool Garden, Gustavo takes a walk in life's garden and refuses to seek shelter when clouds start threatening. Instead the poet walks into the eye of the storm putting in to word every thunder clash with the energy from each lightning bolt and comes out reborn.
