Within meditative transcendence the word is rendered unnecessary. But words are needed
to describe the ladder to reach the transcendent. The book seeks to reconcile the
paradox of intellectual and physical work and effortless intuitive revelation and
mystical creative realization. The deepest and most meaningful of expressions do
not lie in words, but in the pregnant omniscient infinity between words. The paradox
of communication at this level is the necessity to use words to describe the ‘wordless’.
Exploring consciousness, reality, creation, the fall of man and his reach back to
enlightenment, man emerges as an expression of God. The Path is the sum of all paths.
All religions or spiritual paths lead us Home to Self-Realisation.

The Blade of Grass and The Footprint of the Calf, is a book that, in our search for the panacea to every ill, takes us on a journey towards the reduction of all questions, and all answers, to one. The universal common denominator – the one without a second, the Kingdom of God – the finding of which will ‘add all else’ unto us. The author tackles the ‘impossible’ task of describing the infinite with finite tools – words. He deals with the dilemma of transcending the limitation of words in an effort at expressing the inexpressible, the ineffable, the silence.
