I wasn’t created that way but I was adopted and it feels so strange to be different than those around you! Very well written!

Thanks for the comment…Carol? I follow you and enjoy your work immensely. I see now that I needed clarification on what was in the book, that I was referring to: “”What we do know is that is that the basic structure of the tree of life has helped us understand that all extant life on Earth is derived from a single, extinct microbial organism. But if Earth is derived from a common microbial ancestor, when did that last common ancestor arise?” The eventual answer, after much proof, is about 2.4 billion years ago.
I think I’ll post this explanation, because my communicatiion was so flawed.

Oh, did I give the impression that it wasn’t my poem? The footnote was just for those who doubt that microbes reproduce horizontally! It’s my poem.

And also, did you see the video of the exercise to keep one’s balance better? It might help for when you go walking along the river again picking up driftwood or other usable debris? It’s at the end of the post. Hope you enjoy it and can use it. 🙂

So thoughtful a response, as usual. That Whois.. company didn’t work for me, but my helper comes Monday and may get it to work. Thanks for the thought.

As I just explained in a post today, I wote the poem. The reference was to the book that asserted we all come from microbes. I’ll communicate a little more clearly next time. I aleady talked to Petru about this, but thanks for trying to educate me. I need all the education I can get!

Then, well done! I apologize for being dense about this. It is good to discover you wrote this. The title is so very clever and I enjoyed reading, even more so now. I always comment I am a bear of little brains and this proves it.
