Life is what it is. For some it’s the whole thing, the all-encompassing label of individual existence. To others it is a term extending out to all beings, and all things. But when it comes down to it, it simply is.

And yet, there is something so meaningful about it that we can’t help but examine it, experiment with it, and respond to it. We are curious beings, and beings with vast potential to explore and change.

Most of us are aware of our plasticity as human beings. Our characters change over the years. We grow. We age. Recognizing that we share our chemistry and culture with those around us, we can help each other in a way that is only possible through language.

Experiment: Gerbus is an attempt to discover what changes are possible, and to offer advice on how these changes can come about in a wholesome way – taking into consideration the individual state of mind, the state of body, and the state of community.

I sincerely hope that you will consider the writings and thoughts here as you would those of a dear friend who is not your superior, but your learning, stumbling and motivated contemporary.
