I got home today and after letting the dogs out, feeding the ducks & geese and lizards went to feed the fish. Yesterday I had a female Molly that looked like she was gonna burst. Today I have another 6 - 10 babies! It's hard to count the wee rascals as they do dart about rather quickly and intermingle with the other babes from the previous litters. I know all will most likely not survive but the miracle of life never ceases to amaze me.
I understand (more or less) how life works. I attended Biology 101 in high school years ago. But the older I get the more I am amazed at the miracle that life is on planet Earth that God has created for us. We here are in the perfect zone for life as Venus is too close, Mars is too far away to support life as we know it. Even our moon, lovely Luna is the perfect distance from us.
Human procreation (or any mammal) is a miracle. The procreation of any other animal is a miracle as is that of plants. At the plant level one plant makes a flower as does another ( miracle in and of itself). Then some yellow dust from plant A flower lands on a flower from plant B and makes a tomato, or corn, or okra or a squash.
We should all take time (I think) to ponder the miracle of life here and how amazingly wonderful it really is. Yellow dust (pollen) from one flower gets to another flower and next thing you know we have food.
Walk barefoot in the grass, smell the flowers, take time to watch the Sun rise and/or set, enjoy a Moon rise/set, watch the Stars. Enjoy all God has given us and rejoice!
We all have difficult times in life. I recently lost my Dad. But I am not in the least bitter. Hell yes, I miss him but prefer to remember the good times we had together.
