Matthew took the tiny glass bottle, filled it with the grow medium. He neatly arranged the tiny nerve plant with his tweezers, some moss and an aesthetic larva rock to make the terrarium. He then sprayed water into it and closed it with a cork, placed it on his table right under the LED focus lights.  Fate placed her there. She had everything, food, water, shelter. She wanted to get out but couldn’t as she was rooted there.  She wanted to be out, where the sun was brighter, where the rain fell from the sky, but she couldn’t move. She was in a glass prison, a comfortable one. She cut off everything and everyone outside. Tried to be the best she could be within the container she was, absorbing everything. She sometimes smoked cigarettes until she suffocated.  Mathew saw some mist inside the glass bottle. The plant was transpiring within the ecosystem! He opened the cork so the plant can get some good CO2 from the outside. He wiped the glass clean with a folded tissue and kept it open for

Recently, I planted 2 avocado, 3 papaya and 2 guava trees by the roadside outside my house. Some of the trees are well protected with bamboo stick fences, tall and wide enough to prevent the cows. But they always seem to find the poor papaya tree leaves. These cows are reckless! They just finished 2 trees, so it looks like there will be no papayas this time. I’m regularly watering the fruit trees, it should take about 5 to 8 years before we can get any fruits from them.

I asked chatGPT the chicken or the egg question!  Here’s what I received! “The question of whether the chicken or the egg came first has been a philosophical conundrum for centuries. However, from a scientific perspective, the answer is that the egg came first. This is because the process of evolution occurs over a long period of time, and gradual changes accumulate over generations. In the case of chickens, they evolved from earlier bird species, and the first chicken would have hatched from an egg laid by one of its ancestors. Therefore, the egg must have come first, as it was laid by an ancestor that was not quite a chicken but evolved into one. This process of evolution is known as "anagenesis" and is how new species arise over time. So, while the question of the chicken or the egg may never be fully answered from a philosophical perspective, from a scientific standpoint, it is clear that the egg came first.” Mind blown! 

 I had a very long day today! So this blog got delayed! After my classes I had a long conversation with a new student prospect. Then it was pubg with Sam, Sol, camy and Reeko. Camy also played chess while on the pubg game.  I have to wake up by 7:00 am tomorrow. Nothing productive to write.  

I’m not in a space to do blogs and walk and take care of plants, but still, I make an effort to do it. I just want to sleep in today! Not sure why though.  Yesterday I almost canceled all my classes but I didn’t give up! I scheduled the classes, took everything! I also walked 5000 steps and watered all the plants even though I didn’t want to. I need to find my motivation. Not sure how, but I will by the end of the day! 

She called me  Her voice had a typical ring to it  I wondered if she could sing.  I asked her to sing!  She refused.  I hung up.  Waiting for the next call.
