the double helix and the sun

Matter followed like an eddie along with that which energized it. Light hit the surface of the waters and through an ultimate and primaeval compromise over eons life began entwined with the light-"rays"(?) of the sun. Thus the helix, the neuron... then the moving waters drew outward the matter of "life" into other eddies that mirrored the flow of the waters, fins and green strands of energy gathering manifolds. And then catastrophically, as it has been misconstrued to be, some of the "life" was abandoned by the waters - splat! Like being cast upon a wall, limbs flattened and pinate at the pinnacle from disasterous escape; while some of the life continued spiraling as it had begun, reaching up with green hands to get closer to the sun.

We have a history of re-invisioning our models of the microcosmic world; the atom has become not so much layers of shells any more and the Periodic table is morphing into a myriad of "galaxies." Perhaps it is inevitable that we will continue to re-invent the universe according to current advances in visual and not just mathematical or lingual competence. We are some of us waiting... but some of us can't wait, and are compelled to tell "stories." One day our scientific papers will all be collected by some as yet evolved intelligence and be considered to be our creation myths. Who knows, maybe one of us will be anonimously responsible for a rebirth of faith in the cosmos to reunite us all on a beautiful course through eternity.
