What We Take For Granted

I'm back! In school, that is, and have just completed my first exam. Microbiology is the science of all things small - all things (seemingly) insignificant when viewed through the eyes of a homo sapien living in this society of "bigger, faster." There are more microbes by volume/weight on this planet, than the volume of all other living things. Think about that for a minute.

Right now I'm watching the miracle happening in Chile, as those brave miners are being pulled one at a time, from depths and conditions we can't even think of. All of the people on earth working together, pooling resources and brain power to help one person at a time, survive and come back to their families.

Both of these, in a different way, make me feel very individually insignificant. But I marvel and the complexity - and simplicity -of of our beautiful world.

Glad to be back to the story of my journey.
Cheers!
