I Am

     you are, he is, she is, they are But you knew that already, didnt you? Or accept you absolutely chock-full to anticipate about it afresh or anytime for that matter?

    Huh?

    I assumption we charge a little description on this. Sodo this. Blow yourself. Thats right, go advanced and blow yourself.

    So, what did you feel? Skin? Of course. Maybe some hair? OK. How about warmth? Sure, unless youre continuing naked in your aback backyard in Minnesota in the average of January. (You absolutely charge to get aback central as bound as accessible and try to cut aback on the abundance of hot toddies)

    Unless youre algid out of your alembic or werent absolutely paying attention, you acquainted YOU! So whats so appropriate about that? YOURE ALIVE! Honest-to-goodness, absolutely alive! Anticipate about it. For about a bulk years you werent animate that is. You did not exist. You were alone broadcast atomic stardust. You could accept been a little allotment of just about annihilation you can anticipate of oak tree, beach, craven accoutrement you name it. (Dont abide too continued on this thought. It can get appealing gross absolute quick if you let it.)

    From the alpha of time, we accept been annihilation added than a abeyant biological jigsaw addle cat-and-mouse for assembly. And now son-of-a-gun, actuality we are. From two diminutive half-cells alloyed in a billow of passion, the phenomenon of analysis has adapted that individual corpuscle into a zillion-celled, complex, activity beastly organism.

    Taint no big deal, you say? It happens every day?

    Oh, cmon, now. It is a mega-deal that happens bags and bags of times a day. And it happens with a absolutely baby allotment of errors. As a accepted rule, our noses, eyes and aerial wind up in appealing abundant the appropriate abode on our heads. We accept the actual numbers of arms, legs, fingers and toes. And our belly are all positioned commonly and action as they were intended. All this from diminutive corpuscle latched assimilate the lining of Moms womb!

    Lets yield a quick account of us.

    We all accept a absolutely cool, flexible, articulating framework as a foundation for the blow of the being were create of. Over 200 bones, all affiliated calm and hinged so we can walk, talk, stand, sit, run, bend, stoop, squat, jump, reach, grasp, point, scratch, eat, push, pull, lift, swim, lie down and accomplish any additional action or anamorphosis you can anticipate of. Cool, huh? In accession of course, some of this framework aswell does a abundant job of attention our abdomen brain, lungs, heart, and digestive arrangement from accident from boundless alfresco forces.

    All of these adequately solid hunks of actual are affiliated and maneuvered by our tendons, ligaments and muscles. The assemblies of interconnected, expandable, contractible, beef that plan accordingly as directed to acquiesce us to achieve all of the things weve already mentioned.

    Think about it! Just the actuality that we accept a solid acknowledging framework that we can dispense and move appealing abundant as we admiration is amazing in and of itself!

    Our basal architecture blocks our beef are all alone reside little $.25 of protein and goo that use the oxygen and nutrients they are supplied to accumulate and do the jobs appropriate of the agency that they are a allotment of.

    Our digestive arrangement takes the raw abstracts we accommodate it in the way of aliment (and occasionally different garbage), processes it into a anatomy accessible by the beef and ships it out through our centralized administration system. The abstract balance is dumped (excuse the term) externally.

    Our circulatory arrangement heart, arteries, capillaries, veins carriage nourishment, oxygen, and an array of additional chemicals and substances (hormones, biological warriors, decay abstracts and casual advancing buggies) to and from all of our physique locations (individual cells).

    Our respiratory arrangement lungs and associated passageways snags the oxygen from the air, passes it forth to the transporters in our bloodstream, drags the carbon dioxide (one of the byproducts of corpuscle life) aback out of the claret and expels it out into the air.

    Our afraid arrangement receives alfresco stimuli from sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feels, translates it into about apprehensible advice and either uses it anon to aftermath a acknowledgment or food it for approaching reference. At the aforementioned time, it keeps all of our centralized processes activity in a adequately able manner.

    Add to all of this, our systems and sub-systems for acquisition the alfresco stimuli in the first abode (eyes, ears, nose, etc.), angry off disease, healing injuries, advancement physique temperature, advancement actinic balance, growing hair, bearing freckles, casual gas, reproducing, etc. and alofasudden we are alien to ourselves as an acutely circuitous biological organism!

    Holy Smokes, folks! We are one of the alotof complicated assemblies of locations and pieces on the face of this earth! We are so complicated in fact, that even afterwards belief our physique locations for all these years to try to amount out absolutely how all our being works, we still dont understand everything! Maybe we never will. Who knows?

    Are ya trackin with me here? We you and I are ALIVE! Were activity and accomplishing all the being that we human-type animals do. If thats not actually mind-boggling, I dont understand what is!
