bioflash: "The Search"

Under the microscope, Sofi examines the Paramecium: life inside a matter of microns. The single cell zigzags across the slide, breaths, ingests, metabolizes and eventually births a twin. A tiny, motile miracle.

Through the telescope, Sofi studies galaxies that spiral, and nebulae named after spiders. The stars are grains of sand on a cosmic beach: too many to imagine, too immense to fathom.

Curiosity carries her forward, an exploration of existence both grand and small. Like a child’s first foray into the forest, Sofi’s experiment is without boundary, her wonder without limit.

Come and get it!

  1. You have some great alliteration and rhyming in here; very well done. I especially like the sentence "The stars are grains of sand on a cosmic beach: too many to imagine, too immense to fathom." BTW, what happened to the Betty Lambert site? I used to check it every once in a while to see if there were any updates, and it was suddenly not there. I'd told my friend to ask you this if he ran into you at SIWC, as I really enjoyed the Intro to Drama class I took with her.
