Something Interesting?

by A.N.M. - Pisces

So often we forget just
What a miracle we are!!...
We get so damn caught up in
Superficial things...

We look to the sky
And say, "Oh there you are!"
The sun, the moon, the stars...
And some comfort it brings...

"The knowing"...the familiar---
The THINGS that give us "peace"
But in this familiar knowing
Come the questions without cease!

We all can get so BOTHERED
Even though there's no "real plague."
At each moment, birds are singing
PROBLEMS seem quite vague...

Unless you are in dire straights...
Which, one day, we'll all be.
I wish to say what I learned today
It was "interesting" to me....


A "one celled" amoeba has 400 million bits of information in their DNA!!....Equal to 80 volumes @ 500 pages per volume!

It's like a small city wandering in a single drop of water!

"WE" have 5 billion bits of information in our DNA!!...It would fill 1000 volumes....(a complete library)....just dealing with things like, sneezing, coughing, blinking, laughing, crying...digesting an apple...etc......

I am in awe of this!!!!!!!!!....We take our selves soooooo for granted!!!!!

Love and Peace...A.N.M.
