Grapple with "Space, Time, and the Soul", where space heals what time wounds, and "Eden in the Dimension of Time", pondering if time was Eden's curse from the apple's bite.No theme escapes: stillbirth's unseen ache in "Stillbirth", poverty's glory in "Living in Poverty", data's cage in "the data in you", and primal calls in "let out the devil in you".
