19. The Human Quest to Live in a Cosmos

This has been a personal quest, from a child to the present: a way to coordinate my need to fathom the cosmos, a fierce desire for intelligibility and coherence, and an acute sensitivity towards the natural world. For those who are drawn to know the cosmos, the attraction is compelling, alluring, and even irresistible. The cosmos provokes the human mind to focus with intensity, purpose, and perseverance to know the universe, to encounter it. The focus here is on this encounter with the living cosmos, and the living Earth.
