Those who seek truth or are open to discovering it will be drawn into this tantalizing collection of thoughtful writings and short stories. Non pop-culture seekers will appreciate the eye-opening array of ideas captured in 245 well-written pages. I was awakened on subjects I'm often hesitant to speak of to my friends and family. Subjects such as death, war and the universe are all captured in a way most readers can appreciate. It helped me discover a new way to look at many everyday things I either took for granted or never even questioned. I'm glad I found this book. ( )
