The message is heartbreaking but I do not believe we have or you have lost. We are challenged and the ways we know aren’t working but all mankind is focused. We’re in new territory–a place where answers are not already known. A place where discovery is the task and solving the mystery the prize. It seems this is bringing together all sectors.
