email excerpt to MH:

Thanks for the beautiful photo of the earth. Last week I was listening to the tape of "A Man on the Moon" and the photo was timely. But recently I hardly have any time to be sentimental about things, to stand back and observe, to reach in and explore, and or to simply stay still and admire and be in awe. I am still cruising on my last enlightenments (a small one in 2002 and a big one in 2001). Now I have only practical things happening in my brain. Hanging out with other scientists from work in cold Michigan winter probably has something to do with it.

But I would love to sit down and share some metaphysical moments with you. Maybe to see you in enlightenment.
