life

You see this? This is you. I'm serious!
Right here, life is about to form
on this planet for the very first time.

A group of amino acids are about
to combine to form the first protein.
The building blocks of what you call "life."

Strange, isn't it? Everything you know,
your entire civilization, it all begins
right here in this little pond of goo.

free

That which we hide from haunts us.
That which we run from reins us.
That which we avoid creates a void in us.
That which we clutch has a hold on us.
BUT that which we allow to flow leaves us forever free.
