Things I Ponder Sometimes
Things I ponder sometimes…..
Sea life has a natural bioluminescence that can be found practically no where
on earth except way down deep under the sea, and on a firefly of course.
I think this is why the mysteriously hidden world of the sea seems so much more alive, and dangerously exciting than other places on the earth.
I like to think they reflect what we would actually find in another dimension, or
on another planet, as the “norm”. Maybe people glow in other galaxies.
If we could dig down to the inner core of the earth, without letting air in,
can you imagine what we might find under the soil and the dirt and the clay and the pebbles and the rocks? There might be creatures living down there that are actively glowing.
But we would never know it, for when the air hits them their glow dissipates
like when the air hits our blue blood making it appear to be red.
I have pondered this many times in three weeks, as I have had four IVs and I have seen a lot of my own florescent blue blood turn red.
