The wonderful thing about the world we are living on…
if you haven’t noticed by now
Is that it is covered with living things…
So many planets in our solar system without life…
So much of the universe apparently uninhabitable…
And yet this one planet…
This one we live on…
Life is abundant.
It is everywhere we have looked…
And it should come as no surprise that with all this teaming, resplendent, abundance…
We would want to learn everything we can about it
