Letter to Josie

Richard Thompson sends a letter to his granddaughter

by Richard Thompson 25th August 2017

Josie, our granddaughter, is in her second year at Manchester University, really enjoying her course in Biology with an option in Philosophy. In her first year I sent an email to her about the nature of incessant change in life and the huge whirl of energies influencing us. I asked: ‘Why is there so much change?’ She replied one minute later with: ‘That’s easy! Random mutation to do with DNA.’ That shut me up… until now!
