The Universe In A Tree
Trees — I'm in awe at how the bio-info encoded in their little seeds is so smart and powerful that it builds strong, elaborate, beautiful, alive structures from the dust of the Earth. And I like how the dust of the Earth was created in stars — what Carl Sagan called "Star Stuff". And then this tree burrows into its Earth to make itself from this Star Stuff and then lifts its leaves to the Sun, our star.
Stephen Hawking wrote The Universe In A Nutshell, but it's easier for me to imagine the universe in a tree.
Know a tree.
