Multitudes of Life

The power to destroy distinction
within a single cell.
«Authorization denied.»
«You are impeding progress!
Your mind is closed!»
«The risk outweighs the benefits.
We do not know what it
will create.»
«I will nourish the cell and bring
this to completion.»
Catalyst of
self sustaining processes
introduced
to accelerate
replication.
This system
is living.
Contiguous.
Metabolic.
Maintaining homeostasis.
Origin —
unknown and in question.
A complex network of
matter and form.
The being that sat before her
was self aware.
Its eyes held consciousness.
A complex inquiry.
«I was not born into wisdom.
Wisdom was born into me.»
This is first contact.
This is rebirth.
