We are exposed to so much, to so many messages and communications we have seized seeing what's important. So much happens yet so few notice it. That is the reason we have boredom, despite the number of tasks on the schedule. All around there is fascination, things we don’t know, things to explore. Yet within our four walls, we think we know, we think we’ve seen it already and we seek a new, more interesting better show on a flat screen which we never find.

Many who watch and think about that forgotten world upon which human life depends, say that science cannot entirely explain the way that water is, including its surface tension. We have to watch water to know this quality and to awaken to how special it is. The laboratories of the future and the entire forward march of humanity might in this way depend on a single golden thread of knowledge: that on the deserted islands of the earth, where nature carries on without us, almost everything that is most important to us is happening.
