The Wonder of It All

About the Book

This book has been written to advance a vision, to foster the nurture and sustenance of human life on the precious biosphere we call earth—our one and only home. Any vision without foundation is vacuous. So what is our foundation? There are only two basic assumptions about human nature: that we all have spiritual qualities and that our spirits aspire to reach and attain states of being, qualities of life and other things that are higher and better for ourselves and our families. It is an unerring focus on life—one that builds on its relentless force in each of us—reaching for the stars.
