I Am Not In Any Hurry To

If Darwin Could See What We Now See, What We Now Know About The Ocean, About The Atmosphere, About The Nature Of Life, As We Now Understand It, About The Importance Of Microbes - I Think He Would Just Beam With Joy That Many Of The Thoughts And The Glimpses Of The Majesty Of Life On Earth That He Had During His Life, Now Magnified Many Times Over.

Earth As An Ecosystem Stands Out In The All Of The Universe. There's No Place That We Know About That Can Support Life As We Know It, Not Even Our Sister Planet, Mars, Where We Might Set Up Housekeeping Someday, But At Great Effort And Trouble We Have To Recreate The Things We Take For Granted Here.

If You Think The Ocean Isn't Important, Imagine Earth Without It. Mars Comes To Mind. No Ocean, No Life Support System.

Like A Shipwreck Or A Jetty, Almost Anything That Forms A Structure In The Ocean, Whether It Is Natural Or Artificial Over Time, Collects Life.

I've Had The Joy Of Spending Thousands Of Hours Under The Sea. I Wish I Could Take People Along To See What I See, And To Know What I Know.
