The Ether is an ancient scientific term that referred to a substance that was thought to fill the universe and transport light, truth, ideas, and distant communion between people. My grandmother used the term to describe discernment, impressions and telepathy. If she were here now without the benefit of her present insight, all this instant messaging by computer would be mysterious and wondrous to her, not unlike sending messages through the ether. I confess to being just as incredulous; just as naive even though I have listened to the technical explanations. My family of origin would be hard pressed to write a history of my life unless Vilate survives me. My Lavery family have bits and pieces. My Thompson family even less. Perhaps this could be a forum for discussing some of the things that seem most vital to me.
Thank you Katherine, for the suggestion.
