The Greater Number: A glimpse of our universe and sort of everything in it

A unique view of life that reveals a positive flow of the universe. Using fanciful 'Word Forms' that create 99 pages of an informational poetic view of events and thoughts, interspersed with 113 pages of extraordinary photography, and works of art by seven artists whose ages range between seven and 119, had our eldest been still with us. The purpose is to open the mind with an environment of beautiful imagery, set in a context of cognitive dissonance. The goal is to challenge the reader to look more deeply into any of the thousands of references which are captured in time frames, specifically not in chronological order within the frames. It begins with a fantasia of the advent of the physical universe, and ends with the challenge of tomorrow.
Finally, the book, and the process have been a 30 year research project. It provides, by way of a huge literature, and life search, an indication that our presence on this small blue-green globe helps us see that there is little question that: while some bad ones there have been surely, the "greater number" of all the things related to our presence here are very good indeed, .

Robert grew up in a neighborhood which had one of the highest juvenile crime rates in America between 1950 and 1970. There were youth gangs in the schools before it was the fashion, and motorcycle gangs on the streets where he learned to walk in awareness and hope. He worked in poverty communities in South Central Los Angeles before and during the "first" Watts Riots of 1965. Through an era of revolution and evolution, he has seen the world come abruptly against itself only to find the deep need of some real personal, internal, and creative human work in human cooperation. Robert spent 10 years in Marin County, California, in an extraordinary community of communes, social services, and politics during the time of radical change between 1970 and 1980, just before discovering Improvisational Dance in San Diego. His second book, "Happy Vernday Birthcox: Revolution, Evolution, and an Uncommon Commune - 1970," a true story, was published in 2015 and tells of the extraordinary people, and times that prepared him for a life engaged in Improvisation, and various searches for understanding. He is the father of a fine boy who is now 29, and the delight of his father's life. Robert spends some time each day playing some music, writing, reading voraciously, delighting in the beauty and abundance of this life, and in grateful thanks to God for all that is."Henry, George T.: - George Henry has been the official photographer for Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for half a century.
