Adaptation
That which is alive evades and adapts to remain
so. Survival is a dynamic drama of hustle and variation.
When the Nazis came to Amsterdam, Anne Frank hid
quietly in the dark for two years. For generations, the destitute Zabbaleen
along the outskirts of Cairo have resorted to sorting trash and burrowing into
literal garbage towns like inhabitants of a rotting ant farm.
Nature is equally resourceful. When a creature becomes
vulnerable, it develops camouflage, agility, and/or weaponry. Leaf-tailed geckos
resemble the tree bark where they bask, fresh meals in broad daylight except
for their disguise. With large hind feet and scaly toe fringes, basilisks run
on water to escape predators (thus the nickname, "Jesus Lizard").
If that's not ingenuity,
horned toads shoot eye blood at their attackers. Even rocks reposition and
erode to fit into the evolving puzzle of the landscape.
In the theater of being, every cell is a saga, each
entity an actor toward another fantastical plot twist.
