Tree Shadow
It was time to address the notebooks. Filled with code, some readable, others with illustrations, all handbound and made into beautiful packages. The ideas held in them ancient and incendiary, not to be handled lightly, but to be studied in depth after inner preparation. They were not for everyone, of course, only the adepts or…

Memory Returns
While I was going over my notes, I felt unsure about where to go next. They were all over the map and I didn’t find any clear directive to open the mission. It wasn’t okay that I was so scattered, and I had doubt about just who it was in the organization that had sent…

Fragmented Memories
The memories came in fragments, and at first I was certain they were dreams. But persistently they appeared before my mind’ s eye in vivid reality. The memories came in objects, without any context. as if they had been isolated and photographed in a whitebox. I saw them one at a time. Each image of…

Hypnotic Deception
“I know, it was to be one of our flagship efforts. But when the changes came down we had to abandon pure research and go toward marketable uses. “We still kept up with a small research group, but sent the rest of the trained reporters out into deep cover. Or that’s what it was called.…

Deployed
It was a tough beginning, rocky and disruptive. Having received the message that it was time to set out, I was surprised by my own reluctance. Events and attitudes I had not ever considered swirled before me as priorities. Obvious ploys to take me away from the work I had trained and signed up for.…

Bees
In the world outside, innumerable people, places and things are all working together like bees. I listen to the bees as they fly in and out of the central hive, making our work more collaborative and cooperative with each movement of a wing, with each direction of the sensors toward the nectar, toward the queen,…

Caravan
There were others with me as I began my wunderkabinett, all devoted one way or the other to this most glorious task. They were the sisters and brothers who had also dedicated themselves to the service of life and humanity. It was said in one translation of the Diamond Sutra that at the end of…

Tray of Soil
In the exploration of my wunderkabinett, each aspect of my study reveals a new approach to understanding it. I see it now before me. What does it mean? Is it simply a magician’s storage unit? All those books and substances and tools of the trade have to be placed somewhere – they can’t just stay…
