Sounds like me, though I'd just call myself a scientist, and a
gentle person. Perhaps I can call myself 'spiritual' instead :)
I've been reading a lot about systems thinking recently (Capra's
'Web of Life' and Lovelock's 'Gaia') - this is the kind of
approach to (earth/universe/everything) science I like.

Hmm. Yes I agree that way lies much breathtaking complexity :)
