Amoebae
I read my book again today... and once again.. I gave this page and what it said a long thought.. it consumed my thoughts for the rest of the day......
Amoebae leave no fossils. they haven't any bones. ( No teeth, no belt buckles, no wedding rings ) It is impossible , there to determine how long amoebea have been on Earth. Quite possibly, they have been here since the curtain opened. Amoebae may even have dominated the stage, early in the first act. On the other hand, they may have come into existenced only 3 days or 3 minutes - before they were discovered by Anton van Leeuwenhoek in 1674. It can't be proven either way.
One thing is certain, however; becasue amoebae reproduce by division, endlessly, passing everything on yet giving up nothing, the first amoebae that ever lived is still alive. Whethere 4 billion years old or merely three hundred, he/she is with us today.
Where ?
Well, the first amoeba may be floating on his/her back in a luxurious pool in Hollywood, California. the first amoeba may be hiding in among the cattails roots and peepers in the muddy shallows of Siwash Lake. the first amoeba may recently have dripped dwon your leg. Its pointless to speculate.
Book : Even cowgirls get the blues, Tom Robbins.
Hmmm..I wonder... how can anything so small, so insignificant, yet be significant still be so small. Are there people in our lives that walk quietly in and quietly out again without us noticing ? Maybe the stranger that sat opposite my breakfast table is the CEO of my dream company. Can I leave earth like the amoebea, leaving no trace of history ( I guess with this blog.. its hard ), or maybe one day I can split myself up and be in 2 places at the same time ?
Hmmmm.... food for the brain..
