Creation I

  A lifeless collection of amino acids

acquires the rudiment of life,

which is to replicate.

In the process of replication,

mutations are naturally selected

for traits that enhance the persistence

of this new little bit of life.

Because these traits all inherit the

Very same Will (to survive),

They transform in kind

From a multitude of objects 

Into a single subject,

And, in the process,

Give birth to

Mind.

Creation II

 Behold the cell:

A tiny single-minded universe.

           Cells began assembling into

              The majestic multitude of

                Multicellular creatures:

    The benefactor of Mother Nature’s

        Creative power to select

     Shifted

       From the cells themselves,

     To the signaling among them,

 Which, with time, Nature rendered into

     Flesh with nerves and brains

   To tie together all those tiny little minds

        Into minds with a higher Nature.
