Note: Our planet Earth has the wrong name. It should be Planet Water because 70% of its surface is covered by liquid water. Life here is water based. The search for life elsewhere in the Universe starts with the search for water. There may be other forms of life, but water-based life is the life that we know.

planet’s name is wrong Water, not Earth, it should be for water bathes it search for life beyond, by divining for water, for life craves water mater and matrix water is the crux of life, fluid H2O The water cycle drains rainfall, down to ocean where vapor forms clouds terrestrial cells swim in primordial soup, in bags from ocean dying for a drink, the most dear commodity on Earth is Water the worth of water is unfathomable, til the well runs bone dry plants tap the sun’s light to split water molecules, leaking oxygen animals breathe in the oxygen made by plant’s photosynthesis plants split the water made by all respiring cells breathing oxygen fluid water soft, is yielding and compliant, but flow carves canyons your tears are salty for your blood came from the sea in circulation the whale ancestors as fish climbed, from sea to shore went back as mammals --------------- 23 June 2017
