Islands In The Stream

No Man Is An Island

No man is an island,

Entire of itself.

Each is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thine own

Or of thine friend's were.

Each man's death diminishes me,

For I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee. 

John Donne

To dream a dream of fulfillment is a singular domain to inhabit. One derives 

pleasure from the continuous loop played out in the mind's eye of the desired 

result. One sees oneself, with a delicious resolve, as an island in the stream 

of life.

And so it was for Michael Campbell, the main character in the new novel, 

CAPISTRANO. He shed the shackles of conformity. He stopped living to satisfy 

the expectations of others. He became his own man in a foreign country as he 

set out on a venture about which he knew nothing. All he possessed was drive 

and ambition.

But no man is an island unto himself. He needed help. His singular focus 

became a beacon to others. Some rafted together with him to his immense 

benefit. 

And others became steadfast in their attempts to sink him.

The price to achieve his prize was steep. Michael's piece of the continent was 

diminished as death stalked those around him. But he soldiered on as only a 

man on a mission can.

Michael's story will make you laugh out loud. It will make you cry. Most of all, 

it will make you think about your present and the possibilities that lie 

untapped within.
