Three Macrocosms The universe is one thing made up of many things, some parts of which are alive and some parts of which have no need to obey that laws space and time. Our science tells us that our bodies are home to many billions of microbes that contribute to our well being. Likewise, if we look inside the cells that make up our bodies, the mitochondria within are said to have as much in common with bacteria in the world around us as with our own bodies. A human is one entity made of many entities, and some parts of our spirits do not need to obey the laws of space and time. Call each person a living colony just as the universe around us is made of grand colonies of star systems that we call galaxies. In all probability, our mother planet is herself alive and our universe is also full of other planets themselves alive. Each galaxy a giant colony full of life. The vastness of the universe is reflected in our bodies when you look at it from the point of view of a microbe or a single cell A second time the vastness of the universe is reflected in our imaginations --each mind a home to its own cosmos of thought And a third time the universal spirit is reflected in our own souls. Three microcosms each reflected in a larger macrocosm Each microcosm, a macrocosm from the point of view of the life inside. Sliver sparks of life and spirit connect us all to one another just as the lives of many green leaves are connected to the trunk and branches of one great tree. We all are born, live, love, strive and die on one tiny drop of life in a vast, vast ocean alive. Each of us a drop of life even smaller. All the more a waking miracle when we see that we each are organic colonies of life gifted with the ability to imagine and discover the shapes and forms of the universe around us and in us all.
