Nothing is ever guaranteed, and all that came before doesn't predicate what you might do next.

I saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial not as an object placed into the earth but as a cut in the earth that has then been polished, like a geode. Interest in the land and concern about how we are polluting the air and water of the planet are what make me want to travel back in geologic time-to witness the shaping of the earth before man.

To fly, we have to have resistance. It's all about turbulence. Reacting to images of wave patterns in fluid motion.
