The Pulitzer Prize winning author,
in wonderful words and images,
describes the meaninglessness

of life — people, planet, solar
system spinning out of control
with no apparent purpose and

who knows the destination? How
could existential nihilism sound

essay made the best case ever for

Jesus joining the party — the-
flesh-and-blood-dressed-up-myth-
ologized-his-words-and-a-few-

others-thrown-in-for-good-measure-
Jesus-for-whom Saint-Paul-put-the-
carnation-in-incarnation’s-lapel-and-

the-Cosmic-Christ-waltzed-into-the-
ballroom-and-meaningful-purposeful-
loving-life-danced-into-eternity.
