"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

"The Business of Hybrid Fruit"




"In today's world of "frankenfoods' I would think of hybridization as just that but it is not. Hybridization - cross pollination - has been going on for centuries with roses, etc. and it cannot be compared to the laboratory specimens that have their DNA mixed with completely different species such as mixing plant and fish.....UGH! That being said, hybridization often does not capture the characteristic taste and scent that belongs to the original and results in a tasteless and scentless but sometimes a surprisingly beautiful product!"
