As Adam and Eve awoke in the garden of Eden to the agony and ecstasy of the "knowledge of good and evil," we also awake to such challenges in our time. The Promises of our ' modern enlightenment' whisper and tease our imagination , and open our eyes to a promised bliss and to agonies and sufferings. Our destiny is to press forward toward Paradise, however fleeting,opening the secrets of the atom and the mysteries of the gene. One promises energy and destruction, and the other, far more difficult to contain, promises the infinite shaping of all living things. What a Fascinating, Challenging,and Open ended game we get to play in our time together. My hope & prayer, for all earthly companions, is to learn the ways of Love, Joy, Faith, Hope, Wisdom and Humility; modulating, tempering and informing our melding of technology, genetics, the Universe, and our imagination with these qualities as we navigate the web that is the Universe.

I'll see you, and perhaps we will meet, on the crest of a Wave, or Surfing the net!
