"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour"
-Blake

Well i can now truly appreciate that little snippet. our ecology lab topic the other day was on the diversity of invertebrates found in leaf litter. we collected samples of leaves/dirt (basically the layer of stuff on top of the soil and under the tree) from eight trees, and then picked through it for all the invertebrates we could find. it was fascinating, really. we found 62 different species, from under eight trees! just made me think about the worlds that i miss daily, all the different scales of being that there are.
