Q: How is the human body put together?

A: It’s not.

This dawned on me yesterday while driving and talking to myself — yes, I do that a lot — and how many times I have used that expression.

Because we sure *look* a lot like an elaborate machine; and machines are, indeed, assembled.

But a tree is not assembled. Nor is a plankton, a tree frog or were you.

They all — We all — grew from one seed, fertilized.

The implications of this are, for me, profound. Really being with this truth, not just skimming over it with “Yeah, the body is connected, I know …”

Machine parts are connected.

Body “parts” are the same thing, expressed as different things.
