please feel free to
My name is Roger
Male...Over 40 but under 60 your choice.
I live in New Zealand at New Plymouth
but
generally only at the week-ends.
The remainder of the week, the
working bit remember it,
I spend at Massey University in the
Institute
of Molecular Biosciences where I am engaged on
research.
Currently I'm working on a really ancient plant line,
Anthoceros or Hornworts.
I'm investigating their chloroplast membranes
and their reaction to
blue, red and uv light.
Previously I worked on 2ry metabolites
as a
consequence of gene expression.
A precursor to predatory
inhibitors.
I guess im very much a romantic at heart,
I write poetry, play but
mainly listen to the Cello
and talk of things that interest me.
I adore walking through our subtropical
rainforest bush, and looking
at the shaded plants.
I'm in love with trees, ferns and their
ecology
and being a Piscean water.
My favorite music is the rites of passage
the wind in the tree
branches,
the sound of water rushing.
I am the sound of water
drops
onto the silent Styx in its stygian cave.
My wish is to attain peace of spirit and
for you to do so too. I have
paid my
rite of passage and returned. I know
the pit of hell,... been
there,
I know the green eyes in the dark,
been there, I have felt the
highs of passion
and the lows of farewell and isolation,
been there.
Enjoy life as it comes,
you have still a lot to offer.
Your passage
runs along the path,
you cannot know it all.
