If we are to give credence to legendary stories of our various cultures, then mankind is in a period of kimbo; the time between Paradise Lost and Paradise regained; between expulsion from Eden and attaining the blessed state of perfect happiness in Elysias. So mankind struggles through the vagaries of time and chance, weathering the buffetings of circumstance and fortune. Still, all it not lost or unfulfilled, for in our contending with time and chance, we become the recipients of countless experiences-pleasant and tragic-that inhabit our memories and weave the fabric of who we are; and we can record these memories of our experiences and encounters, thereby revealing ourselves, publishing our feelings to fellow sojourners.
