Once in a longago world
a drop of golden sun
fell upon a lump of clay
and stirred up an unstoppable force
– biological life –
.
Life is who and what we are
in whatever form each one takes
and we are all in it together
every part dependent on the whole
– hole shebang –
.
Earth life is a collective organism
a body of cells and of flows
in cycles upon cycles within cycles
temporary beings moving things about
– action –
.
