I Think Of Evolution As An Error-making

I Pictured Myself As A Virus Or A Cancer Cell And Tried To Sense What It Would Be Like.

Risks, I Like To Say, Always Pay Off. You Learn What To Do, Or What Not To Do.

My Life Is Pretty Well At Peace, And The Profession Is More Of An Avocation. It's A Calling, If You Like, Rather Than A Job. I Do What I Feel Impelled To Do, As An Artist Would.

As A Bio-philosopher - As Someone Who Draws Upon The Scriptures Of Nature, Recognizing That We Are The Product Of The Process Of Evolution, And In A Sense, We Have Become The Process Itself - Through The Emergence And Evolution Of Our Consciousness, Our Awareness, Our Capacity To Imagine And To Anticipate The Future And To Choose From Amongst Alternatives.

I Have Come To Recognize Evolution Not Only As An Active Process That I Am Experiencing At The Time, But As Something I Can Guide By The Choices I Make.
