About This Book
As I sauntered through the forest one day, my dog began to dig. What he found was not a mouse, a vole or a woodchuck, it was a book, a book as pristine as the day it was born.
Here is a portion I read:
“Wisdom does not come in a vacuum. It takes making a choice and using free will, and data, and experience. You haven’t looked at the glorious being that arises from the soup.”
“Well, sometimes suffering drives the individual mad.”
“That is one choice from the table.”
“Or they kill themselves with drugs.”
“That is another choice.”
“Do you know it all?”
“That is a human speaking. Humans want their God to know it all because it gives them security. Not that it does them any good if their God doesn’t intervene in their behalf.”
“Do you ever intervene?”
“Have you ever watched Star Trek the television show?”
“I wasn’t born under a rock.”
“Wouldn’t matter if you were. Those born under rocks have risen to heights higher than those born in castles.”
“I apologize.”
“The Star Trek show had a prime directive which was not to interfere with the evolution of other life forms. Biologists have a prime directive, too, that is to refrain from tampering with a species because then they alter the data, and they do not have a pure observation.
“To learn, you watch. The point is not to interfere until asked. Although sometimes I carry a person because I feel like doing it. That is something I learned from you guys.”
“Are you telling me that we teach you?”
“I said that on page one.”
“I know, I read it, but I didn’t believe God—you—wrote it.”
“Well, you will by the time you finish this—if you choose to finish it.”
