Athirst in Spirit

Richard Valencia is in the autumn of his life. He has suffered the tragic loss of his first wife and daughter. He has enjoyed a successful marriage of thirty years before the loss of his second wife to cancer. He has known the laughter and joy of grandchildren. Yet there remains an empty void in his heart. For several years, he has dedicated himself to the pursuit of knowledge in several disciplines to better understand the world and his purpose and destiny in it. Plasma cosmology, religion, and mythology are all disciplines that, together with traditional scientific pursuits, provide him a better understanding of the universe. He is working to index that knowledge in hopes of providing data from which he can begin to learn the answers. Will the love of a woman bring a deeper understanding to his quest?
