William Gibson is the master of modern Science Fiction writings. I have recently had the opportunity to be exposed to such fantastical writing during my stay here in the US; Geof went to buy a new book today, 'Burning Chrome'. The 'Fragments of the Holographic Rose' keep on falling for me, its a never ending cycle...

Love is what entangles us all to each other. Love between friends, between enemies, between lovers, people of different nations and cultures show genuine love for each other through liberation (one word-Iraq...). Love is keeps us alive, unfortunately people today in this country do not know what it means to fully love someone. They have this...idea of what they think love is, they don't know what it means to give your life for the one you love. That is true love...

We are living in a 'Diamond Age', an age where material possesions fill everyone's hearts, to the point of not being able to contain love, or any other emotion for that matter. I have realized this wholly upon my trip to the American mall today. Poeple rushing baout, filing in and out of stores, buying things for themselves or so called 'loved-ones'. Things that will ultimatley burn, whatever the fate of this earth. Knowledge is the only thing that will survive, as long as it is contained in the minds of those willing to continue learning and prepared to pass that kowledge on the those of the next generations. that is the only way we can truly survive...

Find out what tru love is...pass it on to someone...fill your hearts with it...let it permeate the earth, then...maybe they will all see...

Yuna.
