They lay deep in the soil of our imagination. They stretch under the earth, piercing through the phantom of gases and unforgiving lava, to penetrate the ocean of the unknown that lies within all of us. I also want to acknowledge the insights of Moneveh Peters, Meridy Giles, Charles Carnegie and others in the formulation of this effort.…
