Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.
All Systems Go
If you're ready to fall in love
Here's the thing you've been dreaming of
Scientific fact that you should know
If you're ready to give your heart
And you don't know which way to start
And you're afraid you'll go against the flow
Ask anyone who's ever been given the blow
If you'll know when all systems are go
All systems go

We are losing our living systems, social systems, cultural systems, governing systems, stability, and our constitutional health, and we're surrendering it all at the same time.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

That inefficiency is masked because growth and progress are measured in money, and money does not give us information about ecological systems, it only gives information about financial systems.

Think how different human societies would be if they were based on love rather than justice. But no such societies have ever existed on earth.

The Pendulum
The pendulum swings to both extremes;
Each side is unreal or so it seems.
Good times are too good and bad times too bad.
So both sides replace the spaces they had.
All that is sure is that change will occur.
Those who embrace it will no doubt endure.
Those fighting the pendulum and its change
Will flounder and falter in a life they estrange.
Opportunities abound as the pendulum swings.
For the advantageous there’s a plethora of things.
But the negative attitude will suffer a fall
When struck severely by the pendulum’s ball.
As stark as today’s events appear to be,
The pendulum’s equilibrium will set them free.
Look to the long term with unfailing hope.
Take advantage of the pendulum no matter its slope.

Walking On A Wire
i'm the one you've been hanging 'round
just stop hearing any sound
found you face down on the ground
found a friend never could be found
i've been waiting around
systems failing now
on your honor so i hear
it's never been your fault you swear
is the union based on fear?
tenement of tears
i've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground
is this all your world tonight?
is this all your world tonight?
have to tell a lie
to avoid a brutal fight
i've been waiting
systems failing
walking on a wire on the ground

I deeply believe in pluralism. I believe in the close proximity of multiple systems or agnostic systems.

I had been here five years already, training very hard, learning about the systems, the shuttle, the station systems. But, everything really became real when I started to work with them.

Man and Nature
MAN AND NATURE
Man trying
to reach the zenith
of the Realms of Science.
supposes
he's the Master of Seismology-
with gadgets,
Seismometer,
Seismograph,
Geo-Net / net-work of Seismic stations etc;
to detect
even the chiliad whispers
of the rumbling shake
under the Earth's crust.!
But his satellites and computers
fail to calculate
even the major displacements
of the tectonic plates
of the Seismic quakes
in the bowels of the Earth! .
He has devices
to measure
by the Richter scale—
a logarithmic scale(base 10)
the rate and amount of energy
an earth-quake releases.
Magnitude of(8) earth-quake
equal to detonating 6 million tons of TNT
often assaults mankind!
It's a wonder! .
Only after the on-set of the quake
this phenomena of Nature
gets registered
by Man's sophisticated instruments.
He can ne'er fully comprehend Nature!
Birds fly frenetically
animals are distraught
insects too respond to the distress—
All creatures experience Nature's big sigh
as they are one with it!
Man's interference with Nature
his meddling on its domains
make prediction of earth-quakes
a will-o'-the-wisp.
Despite his myriad instruments
Man is behind all creatures;
For he has cut his links with
Nature!

They (who) seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers. . . call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order.

Fever Nature’s Healing Power
intuitive thought
moments of eureka
prove insightful
back in the 18th century
Thomas Sydenham
considered fever seriously
to be a healing force
of nature
body's physiology
he proposed regulates
itself through multiple
mechanical equilibrium
adjustment feedbacks
such as rising fevers
nonmechanistic life forces
twentieth twenty-first century
evolutionary medicine concepts
identified medical symptoms
such as fever inflammation
many sickness behaviours
including morning sickness
as evolved adaptations
that function as ‘darwinian
medicatrix naturae’
defined due to selection
as process means
to protect restore or heal
observed injured infected
or physiologically
disrupted ill patient body
rather than hybrid complex advanced
systems occurring completely random
evidence indicates intelligent design

The Rise & Fall
These are the streets I used to walk
On summer nights, sit out and talk
Thats the house where I used to live
I remember what I would give.
This is the town I wont forget
And after anger theres nothing left
Walking now round and round
Familiar sights are open ground.
Being here again
I can recall
Forgotten moments
The rise and fall.
We used to live where children play
They leave their homes a mile away
To come and stand in trees and grass
Where we once walked the memories last.
Being here again
I can recall
Forgotten moments
The rise and fall.
The sun shines east, the sun shines west
But I know where the sun shines best
Casey street in the afternoon
Once again its over too soon.
Being here again
I can recall
Forgotten moments
The rise and fall.
Being here again
I can recall
Forgotten moments
The rise and fall.
Rise

Rise and fall

We were gradually playing larger venues and in the early days PA systems were kind of non-existent. So to play loud, we had to use louder equipment. The PA systems back then didn't mic the instruments - only the vocals.
