DNA library?

Ever notice that a piece of corn is structurally very similar to a human molar?

I used to travel a lot and it seemed not unusual to see someone of one race on the other side of the world who looked just like someone I knew of another race at home. They could be identical twins, except one was white and one Asian, or whatever. Made me wonder if God reuses DNA patterns except for changing up one really significant factor. I’m thinking that if I had the chance to make such creative decisions, I might do something like that just for the fun of it.

corn to human molars to dna templates?
...wingman- what is going on with you? everything ok?
i'll make a rather bold suggestion here, please don't hold it against me-
maybe you should move from the macro to the micro view of things (i could say the opposite for myself) and delve into a little more about what's going with you instead of the universe.
what do you think?

Well, yeah. But to a great extent, that's what I'm doing. I use the macro view to try to help figure out the things I'm struggling with on a very personal level. So most of what I write on a macro level, as you say, has a very introspective level of meaning as well. I thought the veil was thin enough to see through pretty easily. But the corn thing, that was really just a random thought. No angst to find in that one. All that said, you are observant that something has been troubling me the last few days. When I'm in turmoil I get inspired to write. Sometimes I think my best stuff materializes at these times but probably it's just that getting some of the chaos organized into some words that hold still gives some feeling of relief, so I'm pleased with it.

Hey, Fa!
Your comment just caused me to think of something else. It seems that I am striving to make sense of my little personal life based on my world view instead of the other way around. What do you think?

one more thing, of course i can see your metaphors and your veils as you say, but sometimes you just have to come out with it. i can understand how difficult that could be if this is a friendsandfamily type site- if it is, i suggest making another one where you can be free to say what's swirling around in there. it's great therapy! just read my site and you can see!
