Every person has a personal story -- a story as big and beautiful as the universe itself. And each of our personal stories is an essential chapter in the Big Story.


We are told that life's story begins from elements released into space at the death of a star. But what about our destiny? Does that speck of stardust also hold within it a "spark of God"? Is life evolving toward levels of consciousness that we cannot yet even imagine?


Roots and Wings is a book full of questions to inspire deeper thinking. It invites you to participate in an ageold conversation about our origins and our destiny. It encourages you to think about what it might mean to become fully and truly human -- and to discover your own response to that perpetual question.


In Roots and Wings Margaret Silf deftly brings together science and spirituality, allowing a bold new synthesis to emerge between them. The book ends with a bibliography titled "Some interesting books . . ." -- an enticing entree to a variety of pertinent related writings.
