A Cosmic Concoction

 

Is a cell bigger than a molecule?


Cells are bigger. Cells are made


up of molecules which are made


up of elements, that are made up


of atoms of that element. A molecule


is the basis of everything.



This is a question I asked of the


Internet today.



The Sun belongs to a galaxy called


the Milky Way. Astronomers estimate


there are about 100 thousand million


stars in the Milky Way alone.



Again, another question and the


answer arrived.



When moved to question anything,


this is what we humans do.



Honey Badger, as far as I surmise,


doesn’t question; Honey Badger,


or so I am told, doesn’t care.


Millions of years ago Honey Badger’s


and Human’s ancestral lineage


diverged. And on the basis of natural


genetic evolution, here we are today.



Somewhat like Honey Badger, I find


myself gruff and growlingly obstinate


some days, and more than ready to


bite the face off of anyone who gets


up in my face.



Day after day, the stars in the heavens


perform their nuclear fusion thing


going their own way.



It’s a strange and wildly wondrous


cosmic whirlwind we live in, isn’t


it?



I can hardly believe that I’ll soon be


turning 75-years old. Doesn’t


sound like much comparatively, but


then I realize that I am the only one


of the aforementioned who can


write about such happenings.


Now, whether it gets published


or not is a whole different thing.
