Overview

Which part of the human mind will finalize our fate? The part that wrote the Gettysburg Address - or the part that murdered Abraham Lincoln? The Beatin' Path - a lyrical guide to lucid evolution levels a look at both the enemies of human progress and the better angels of our nature.

The cast of this collection includes the bird who wouldn't fly, Flim and Flam (the richest men in the world), Satchel Paige, Galileo, Moondoggie, the monster and the fool, Abraham and Onan, George Orwell, Charles Darwin, young Hector, and the alchemist's apprentice. Presented in short bursts of truth, The Beatin' Path is an illustrated, inspirational kaleidoscope of poetry and prose, of heroes and villains, of humor and of hope.
