Tis only lust...

Is only lust that sparks the fire
of sight and sound confirmed desire
unknown to me your heart or mind
love cannot be; till knowledge signed

a name across one's inner core
to grow from lust into adore
for shallow is the love of most
in the not knowing; loves a ghost.


1 Corinthians 6
6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which
ye have of God, and ye are not your own?


A River Resolute

Like a frog that sits on a rock, surrounded by a full on flow.
I don’t fear so much getting carried away by that which sustains me.
I’m just waiting for the right time; I’m not a leapfrog any more.
It was fun when we were kids, but I’ve seen too many get swept away.

I don’t mind waiting; sometimes friends come by.
I’ll sit on my rock, take in the scenery, paint the big picture.
I’m my own frog now; I’ll know when to jump and how high.

With the advent of nano-extraction techniques, the extraction of
hydrogen from sea water for the use of power generation and fueling
of cars is a step closer. NGEN's proposed conversion of coal and gas
fired power stations to hydrogen and the supply of hydrogen for cars
will revolutionise the worlds energy sector.

MIT's Belcher uses engineered virus to split water

By Christine Peterson, on April 16th, 2010

Angela Belcher and team at MIT have tweaked a bacterial virus to serve
as a scaffolding to:

attract and bind with molecules of a catalyst (the team used iridium
oxide) and a biological pigment (zinc porphyrins). The viruses became
wire-like devices that could very efficiently split the oxygen from
water molecules.
Belcher says that

within two years she expects to have a prototype device that can carry
out the whole process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen,
using a self-sustaining and durable system.

This is just a very early taste of what we can expect someday from
more extensively designed molecular machine systems.
