I had always known the sky was full of mysteries - but not until now had I realized how full of them the earth was.

For each of us, what that is will be different. But once we obtain this inner knowledge, we will possess the ability to transform our outer world. "You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself," the pilot and writer Beryl Markham reminds us. We cannot let this continue to occur.

And so my brother Gilbert and I, brought up without a formal religion, remained throughout our lifetimes just what Father was, freethinkers.
