A Thought-provoking & Inspiration Read
One Universe by Daniel Miller was a very thought-provoking & inspirational read. Part of the allure is that it tells a tale of David, who like any human being, is struggling to overcome some of life's most difficult obstacles throughout adolescence & beyond.
Miller takes us on an eye-opening journey through David's turbulent past, and whether the events shaping his adult life bears resemblance to yours or not, they are masterfully depicted in a way that makes readers feel heard & understood. In this regard, it is a tale that is human all too human, with opposing forces inevitably shifting us in different directions: victory & defeat, happiness & despair, love & tragedy.
David's resiliency & ability to find light in even the most darkest of times not only gives hope to readers, but also nicely illuminates how every moment in life bears meaning & significance. You can't have the good without the bad, the yin without the yang...and how much more do we come to appreciate love & connection after first experiencing the painful depths of loneliness & isolation?
Miller's book thus exemplifies the necessity of finding beauty amidst the chaos, & simultaneously serves as a blueprint for the ways in which we can invest ourselves in a cause that aims to serve the greater good. Therein lies the power of One Universe: it is not only a story to instill hope, but a call for action as well.
I'll end by stating that I'm still on a quest to understand & decipher some of the codes throughout, but until then, I can finally rest assured knowing that someone in the universe is speaking the same language.
