beautiful tidbits.

Excerpts from Rob Brezny's Pronoia:

"With every dawn, when first light penetrates the sea, many seahorse
colonies perform a dance to the sun."

"Each of the 50 trillion cells in your body can be considered a sentient
being in its own right, and they all act together as a community,
performing an ongoing act of prodigious collaboration."

"....biologists have proved that with each breath, you take
into your body 10 sextillion atoms, and—owing to the wind's ceaseless
circulation—over a year's time you have intimate relations with oxygen
molecules that have been exhaled by everyone who has ever lived,
including Joan of Arc, Gengis Khan, Cleopatra, and Malcolm X."
