Lately, I’ve been fascinated by science.
What kicked it off was a video I saw of a human white blood cell chasing a bacterium, captured through a microscope. It was like watching a real-life Pac-man, and it was incredible to see what the human body is capable of to protect itself, all on it’s own.
Isn’t it fascinating how all of natural order works and sorts itself out, even in sickness with the body, or storms in nature?
The sun goes up and down every day, followed by the moon and the stars appearing at night and disappearing at dawn. The earth revolves around the sun, year in and year out, right on time, slowly rotating at the same speed, keeping our calendars and clocks all in check.
Our bodies grow, work and rest. They’re protected by a material unlike any other on earth, equipped with other living pieces that grow, re-grow, protect and kill things likely to hurt us.
We’re born with it and into it, for better or for worse, and we didn’t have to pay a cent for any of the experience. It’s all free.
