Noticing the Big Picture; Long Term Ramifications as Seen Through a Sort of Mustard Seed Philosophy takes readers on a ride through the galaxy, on a car trip down Interstate 95, into the dark recesses of a torn apart family, through a fight for life over death and into unknown territory with The Watching Machine. The essays are as connected as they are varied. Who knew the Ginger Snap could hold so much importance, that mending poles was an endeavor towards love, that CCR5-delta32 might be the key to a cure for a deadly disease, and that every choice we make really does affect many. The final essay leaves readers on pins and needles wondering if there is a book to come to explain this so-called Watching Machine and what we can do about it.
