In one sense this book examines the events we witnessed together during the first years of this century. In another sense it is about everything we did not see but experienced anyway. These blogs chart the eternal we enter every day, even if we do not recognize it or cannot give it a name. These reflections open us to the timeless myths in which we all participate and to the wonder far greater than the wonders all around us.... Seeking ecstasy is, of course, a natural human activity, a clear signal about our nature, our transcendent possibilities, and the fact that although the poet speaks of "the measure of man" there is no measurement that adequately sums up the human person. Although a pseudo-ecstasy is for sale in various venues, real ecstasy is available free everywhere in ordinary life." Book jacket.
