"Theodore Richards . . . takes us on an epic journey . . . It is his journey and it is our journey. It is humanity's journey and though it necessarily includes the misery of cruelty and oppression, there is wisdom at work as well . . . Things could be so different. We wandered away from our African origins so many millennia ago, and though we have become lost and confused, the universe leaves clues everywhere. A new beginning is possible, a new feeling of the interconnectedness of all things is before us. Richards takes us on a journey into the edge of the universe which is the edge of the human being which is the edge of God." -Brian Swimme, author of The Universe Story, for Handprints on the Womb
