During the day Professor Gideon Samid (PhD, PE) is a front line engineer, building and designing stuff, planning: facilities, constructions, tools. With technology one creates comfort -- comfort to do what? With engineering one builds tools of convenience -- convenience to support a life lived for what purpose? These are questions that Gideon raises with the written word, with his unbridled literary pen, not shying from sharp, explicit, word pictures. Alas, this book is not a list of answers, but a tally of a succession of struggles, a list of frequent enigmas, a story of unreasonable hope, a sequence of persistent illusions. This book is a roadmap of trying and trying again. This is Part I of the series "Consequential Milestones in the Life of Samuel Soul". Here, the story points to milestones of sexual intimacy, and the emotional volcano that comes with it. Gideon was born in Jerusalem, was raised and served in Israel, and then developed his engineering career in the US (NASA, Exxon, The Pentagon, University of Maryland, Case Western Reserve University) where he presently lives. Gideon's grown children and grandchildren are spread out in Israel and in the US. His wife left him after 27 years of marriage, yet a gentle soul lifted him up from his misery into a most beautiful togetherness. Dolores' love and commitment unleashes a dormant creativity. Momentum builds, light shines. Gracias!view less
