Morph...

What shall I be today?  A bumble bee?  A teacher? A weeping willow tree?  What if I was just a spider?

Sitting in traffic, my little buddy talked about flying out of the traffic like a super hero which is a grand idea as we would travel fast.  However, I had suggested that if we could put our arms out of the window and have the right aerodynamic shape and strength, we could lift off with the car.  This brought us into another discussion.

Ah, the conversation with my young friend was interesting as we discussed molecular transfer from point A to B with a glitch.  We imagined a transfer pod like that on “Star Trek” with a glitch similar to that of “The Fly.”  This is where our imagination differed from those stories.  Much like the transporter in “Star Trek,” a being (one of us) could be molecularly broken down and transferred to another place and, much like “The Fly,” something else would go along in the breakdown.  The question brought forth stories as the to the end product of molecular bonding with that of another specie.  However,  UNLIKE “The Fly,” the molecular bonding result would be an immediate metamorphoses.

He asked me what I would want to transfer with to become a part of and I told him a spider.  Although this was detailed out in discussion, I won’t do that here.  My little buddy is a curious child who reads and asks questions.  He also has a good imagination.  Before dropping him off, I told him that he is special in that he thinks about many things where as many children do not.  He was told that what he possesses is a great quality and that he should always feed that quality with more information to grow on.  In my heart of hearts, I believe that he will feed his mind well. ~ Maggie ~ February 7, 2009 @ 9:40 p.m. EST

It is hoped that I can share my encyclopedias with him as well as many books that he may find interesting.  Where one has interest, one will gather information with ease.  Thanks goes to my friend Angel for letting me borrow her son for a few hours. Also, my thanks goes out to Tyson for providing such great company via his insightful and witty conversation.
