"In a dark time, the eye begins to see." Theodore Roethke. September 11, 2001 etched an indelible mark on the soul of humanity. The Age of Terrorism, Reflections of a Civilian Vietnam Veteran describes the evolution of one man's thinking and feeling as 9/11 engraved its mark on his soul. How to bring peace to a world headed toward a dark and difficult epoch at the Dawn of Globalizing Humanity? Patterns emerge from the background of human life and we come to see that events apparently random coalesce into the themes that form the stories we live by. This drama unfolds at micro and macro levels. We can not change the story we were born into, but we can change the story we leave behind.
