There is truth and beauty to be found in the greatest and smallest of things. Reflect for a moment on the life of a single cell, which by itself can exist as an independent organism capable of reproduction and interaction with its environment which we call life.
Some cells only live for a few hours while others can survive dormant for millions of years, and all of them are a part of the miracle we call life. It’s a miracle because it takes 100 trillion cells, that’s more than all the galaxies in the universe, to create an adult human being.
It’s a miracle because each and every cell serves an essential and meaningful purpose in making us unique, whether we fully understand it or not.
Our planet is a miracle too. All the individual parts of our ecosystem and all the species of life serve an essential and meaningful purpose in making our planet unique, whether we fully understand it or not. Like us, our planet is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
We can learn so much simply by admiring what is already within ourselves.
