Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation forthe existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind.

If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.

Nothing to lose, the present moment to gain, the integration with long-delayed Now.
