Living Organisms Inexplicably Exist

 If you're John Muir you want

trees to 

live among. If you're Emily, 

a garden

will do.

Try to find the right place for yourself.

If you can't find it, at least dream of it.

Mary Oliver

 "Astonishing! Everything is intelligent!” Pythagoras

"When we try to pick out anything by itself we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." John Muir

"Inside this clay jug there are canyons and pine mountains, and the maker of canyons and pine mountains! All seven oceans are inside, and hundreds of millions of stars." Kabir

“The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder." G.K. Chesterton

Living organisms inexplicably exist, possessing astonishing intelligence and complexity (as well as often great beauty), even in their most simple forms. The wonder of this intelligence and unfathomable functional complexity they possess, (utilizing and coordinating like a supercomputer information, not to mention matter, and energy, while able to reproduce also), is compounded, as each life is woven, in effect, with phenomenal relational artistry, into a tapestry of other lifeforms and matter and energy in various perfect necessary configurations - layer upon layer of astonishing wonder in an almost infinite array of connected intelligent relationships, from the molecule to our Milky Way Galaxy and beyond.
