Fabulous Realm

I have touched organisms that were alive before Jesus was born, that can feel the dipole of a human heart on their faces, and that see the world through the jelly in their jaws. We share the planet with organisms that can live at temperatures of 140 degrees Celsius, breathe toxic metals and live for tens of thousands of years.

By far the most fabulous thing that presents itself across my perceptual threshold is certainly one of the most common and familiar - it is you.
