The most important essay in this book considers the advantages peaceable behavior has over violent behavior in the survival of the fittest. Is peaceable behavior favored in the struggle for survival? This should be required reading for young and old alike. Most of the book is poetry. These poems celebrate the beauty of nature and the spiritual aspects of life. They deal with a wide range of subjects, from youth to old age to death. One of the essays presents the idea that just as matter is a form of energy, energy is a form of spirit. There would be no basic building block of matter, but instead, a basic atomic pattern of substance. Three of many possible forms of substance could be matter, energy, and spirit. A third essay raises the question of what patterns of life are found in creation. For instance, could a real Donald Duck or Bugs Bunny exist somewhere in infinite space and sometime in eternity?
