We are a machine within a machine within a machine. Our bodies are a complete system. But we are permanently joined to the system around us. We only have skin that separates us from the gases we are in permanent contact with. We think we are separate but it is only because the air around us is...

Thanks for your kind words Doc. Yes, I understand the relief part. My mother stays in hospital for a second night tonight and it gives me a chance to have some space and time out. The one way trip to a nursing home must have been a horrible experience. It is like shedding one life and entering...
