mount emily - faith

the two minars were fighting, pecking on each other while perching on the branch... then dropped down from the branch.... flapping their wings frantically, still trying to wrestle the other from the air....making lots of chirpings... landed on the floor... continued jumping on each other.... making more noises... finally broke up and took flights in different directions.... but not any higher before they landed on the ground again in different spots 10 feet apart, strutting back and forth, chirping meekly.... walked towards each other... like nothing ever happened.

marathon man always wonders birds enjoy the most freedom in the natural world -literally, the sky is the limit for these little creatures, the best of any form of lives on earth.

now, they have adapted themselves well to city life, what else is in their way for moving into another rung in the ladder of evolution.

the FLU!

have you ever wonder what's the purpose of microbes, bacteria, virus?

what actually is their role in the story of evolution? ultimately in the whole existence of lives - the meaning of life?

you see all organisms whether big or small are made of some basic living units.... the most fundamnetal of these might be in the scale of a virus. so we are a combination of virus, bacteria. then why would we be harmed by any virus or bacterial?

life is like : one form's existence has to depend on another's. big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. and virus eats what? they eat everything else.... it so ironic, that the smallest has all others for their feast! are we canabalising on one another for sruvival, or are we actually helping one another to survive?

it's not so much how one form of life is more important than the others, ie YOU are no different from the VIRUS. but life as a whole makes part of the universe. imagine a universe without life..... and imagine a universe with life, be it just virus..... but ah, life evolves, even from as little as virus.... and nobody knows when evolution will stop. no matter how many times it wipes itself out, only a mere strain of virus survive the apocalypse, veaolution would carry on. (R U SURE you need that to survive?)

and in that sense, matter evolves.... from the first fundamental particles to the first protons, to the elements..... to the gasses, to the stars, the galaxies.... and to life....

is GOD the final desitination?

or the spirit evolves parallely along the matter/life evolution, in what we call re-incarnation?

or no matter how life or spirit evolves, GODhood is never reachable, but with a leap of faith, you can be with GOD?

marathon man seemed to catch a glipmse of the mystery of all things as he watched the two birds, tumbling down from the tree branch.... while mating... and they were the same ones that had a dig at each other just a minute ago.... only mount emily at twilight time could induce such neo-scientific and heretic thots...... and where's your faith gone?
