There is a certain poetry in these writings that ease the deeper thoughts into your mind as<br />
with the closing lines of “Prime Mover:” “But the ultimate beauty of the human creation<br />
is the indomitable desire to rise above the sum of our shortcomings. In this journey the<br />
happiness of humanity stands the strongest chance of building a better world and finally<br />
finding a love capable of pushing back the primal instinct.”<br />
These essays read like meditations for the well-being of four billion people. It’s a heady<br />
goal but likely a beneficial mission suited for the world-at-large. If Poverty and War have<br />
a permanent cure the medicine will arrive by natural means. No test tube or holy<br />
touchstone can bring people closer to peace until they settle the war raging in their own<br />
hearts. The mechanical and the metaphysical have a place in our dreams if humanity<br />
takes care to ensure our deepest decisions are made from personal experience and<br />
common sense.<br />
