Thanks, Nature!
I just finished a long and annoying revision of the current courseware project.
The last lesson concluded with a discursive lecture by the author, reminding the students of the utterly unbelievable magnificence of the human brain and speech mechanism.
I'm always in that mood when I illustrate or animate this stuff. Every item requires a certain amount of study, and when I study I learn more about the fantastic and unimaginable PURPOSE and DESIGN.
After the month-long editing task I stood up and stretched, and looked out the door for fresh air and visual perspective. The first thing that moved and caught my attention was a TINY insect, some kind of leafhopper, crawling on the door glass and glowing gold in the sunlight.
This entire creature is smaller than ONE of my spinal neurons, yet it does pretty much everything I do. Walk, see, smell, feel, hear, eat, talk, think. And then it did something I can't do: It flew away.
Thanks, Ma Nature.
Emerson:
The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The microscope cannot find the animalcule which is less perfect for being little. Eyes, ears, taste, smell, motion, resistance, appetite, and organs of reproduction that take hold on eternity -- all find room to consist in the smallest creature. So do we put all our life into every act. The true doctrine of omnipresence is, that God reappears with all his parts in every moss and cobweb. The value of the universe contrives to throw itself into every point.
