What fascinates me is that we are walking ecosystems. Every cell in our body, and there are billions, act on their own, doing what they need to do to keep us alive and to help us thrive, but they don’t need orders. And all of those cells, in unison, make up us. <br><br>Transcendentalism sees it this way too - that in fact we as humans make up the Earth’s ecosystem in the same way that our cells make up our ecosystems.<br><br>Fascinating.
