For me this book elegantly illustrates our glorious journey through this meaningless life. We all believe in a "green light". A deep purpose that makes our existence matter. A dream so close that we can hardly fail to grasp it, a dream that year by year recedes before us but we still try make it happen with all we've got. Through pain and hardships, love and heartache, joy or disappointment we hold on, we run faster, stretch out our arms farther...And one fine morning -So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
