around a sun much older than ours
moves a planet much larger than ours
wrapped in a single ocean frozen
ice waves without number
mountains
made motionless before life here began

Lichens are composite organisms that contain algae, fungi, cyanobacteria, and other microorganisms, all performing functions as partners in a self-contained miniature ecosystem.
Wow. These disparate life forms have learned to live together in ways and places where none of them alone could survive. They cooperate to cope with an evolving planet.
Can humans come to terms with their tribal DNA in ways that will allow them to also benefit from such cooperation with others – others who seem strange and possibly dangerous to us at first exposure – because they don’t look like us or behave exactly as we do?
Of course I am talking about our relationship with demodex folliculorum, otherwise known as the bugs living in your eyebrows. You aren’t born with them, but you acquire them, or vice versa. Little guys with white pin-like mouths used for eating skin cells and sebum. They’re not picky about where they live, if you know what I mean.
