Roxborough speaks the universal languages of physics and philosophy; "mad with randomness and Einstein", in that place where "everything whirls at the speed of light" yet ultimately brings one to experience compassion for everyone and everything."

Desire beseeched, romance explored and questioned, Open Heart Sutra Surgery gleans the wisdom and folly from love and passion while serving us a rare, delicious taste of juicy forbidden fruit."

Autor

Stephen Roxborough is the middle of three children. What are the odds of his older brother growing up to be the world's foremost oddsmaker and his younger brother a Catholic Mormon? He was raised by his Canadian father, business executive, and age group swim coach, and his American mother who made whipped wax candles, fabric angels, award-winning quilts, and 14 different kinds of Christmas cookies. They were married 64 years. His Canadian grandfather graduated as far as grade 8, yet became Chairman of the Toronto Board of Education. His American grandfather was an inventor for Bell Telephone, and secretly wanted to become a minister. The author raised two boys from diapers to high school. He knows there's no retirement from parenting, and works at writing, photography, and being a better father.
