Footprints in the Chaotic Unknown
Art Science Oracles Kinfolk
Volume I, Act I―Genesis and Coming of Age
(an Autobiographical Memoir)
By Grant D. Venerable II

This first volume of a four-volume illustrated tetralogy, offers the reader an intimate, if riveting account of the author’s innermost thoughts, struggles, and triumphs through life dimensions rarely spoken of in the same breath. The author’s own pathways parallel those of resourceful ancestors who survived, against the odds, in chaotic, uncertain, and unknown worlds. Importantly, these forbears managed the delicate balance of tantalizing dualities of time and space, the feminine and the masculine, art and science, spiritual and secular, and the intuitive versus the rational-empirical.
