My 78th

This will be a quite day.

Finally out from under the weather from whatever gave me a fever, and then the meds to kill every bacteria known to medicine that might be in my body...but it's fortunately not Covid-19. That doesn't mean it couldn't be another viral infection...but hopefully next week I can get back in the loop.

I'm taking it easy now that my fever has finally broken. Just putzing around the house. Please no surprise party that would give me another heart attack! OK, I'm looking forward to a zoom meet-up with my three sons in the afternoon! Yay.

I just got the link to the Red House Gallery Virtual Exhibit, of which I'm a part. HERE.

Sharing one photo and one quote...and ok, another one too!

How does a single-celled embryo grow up to be a differentiated biological body of organs?

An embryo expands by cell division, making an exact replica of itself with all the same DNA, the same genes. But in the adult body, the cells are differentiated as to their functions. 

... The proteins a cell makes determine cellular function; the genes have the code to make the proteins. ... But the source of the programs is not part of the DNA. 

... Rupert Sheldrake (1981) has shown how nonlocal and nonphysical morphogenic fields are essential to understand biological form-making from the one-celled embryo. The instructions of form-making cell-differentiation (all cells contain the same genes, yet toe cell genes are activated very differently from brain cell genes), are nowhere to be found in the physical body, and that includes the genes (which are more or less instructions for protein-making).

Grateful to still be alive...now what do I do this moment of this wild and precious life?
