It's the simple things...

I studied simple things like my finger and toes and marveled at their dexterity and the functions they served. I became very observant of all my bodily systems, respiratory, circulatory, cardiac, digestive and I was awestruck at the efficiency of our human organs. How could I ever have taken them so for granted? How could anyone? It was like being a multi-millionaire and not realizing that you were rich. I thought about less tangible things like sleep cycles, dreams, and animal hibernation and was filled with a newfound reverence for all living things.
