Thoughts…
I was having some quiet time yesterday at work, and something occurred to me, something that I had known for a while, but full nature and aspect of it suddenly resolved itself in my mind, and promptly blew said mind out the back of my head…
This is something that probably should be posted in my new “world” but almost no one would read it and I got a better social network here and I'm trying to keep regular posts here at MyO…

Consider, if you’d indulge me for a minute, the Apple Seed. No, not the manga by Masamune Shirow or the truly excellent CG Anime features (2nd movie this year!) that are based upon it, but the humble brown pip in the middle of that fruit which we call the Apple.
Consider how small, and insignificant and plain and simple it is.
Now consider that, given the chance, that small little brown dot can grow into an apple tree. A huge, majestic, LIVING organism, that changes with the seasons and continues to grow most of its life. This hugely complex system of leaves and chlorophyll and photosynthesis, all from a tiny dot. Consider that that tree can now grow apples of its own, and they too have seeds, which, given the opportunity can sprout trees of their own, all of which can bare their own fruit.
Consider that from a single apple seed, a million apples may grow.
Now apply that concept to the human body.
Consider that we start life as a single cell.
Nothing is added. Once that single cell gets going, nothing is added to it. The ENTIRE human body is built using one cell. The sheer complexity of it all. The senses, the immune system, the organs, the digestive system, the muscles, the bones….ALL from a single, tiny, insignificant cell.
Consider all that you are. Consider all that you can do. We can learn, love, laugh. We can use our bodies to explore this beautiful world of ours, or we can use our minds to think up entire worlds of our own. We can play music, sports, games. We can create art. We can write literature. Our bodies allow us to do it all. And that body started life as a single cell!
And consider identical twins! Two WHOLE unique complex biological organisms capable of all of the above and more! TWO! From a single cell!
Isn’t that fantastic?! Isn’t life, in all its splendour and glory, a miracle in any definition of the word you care to use?
Everything on this planet, everything we have created, everything in nature, perhaps even the entire Universe, all created from a tiny insignificant speck. A dot. A little blip.
Isn’t that wonderful?
