Potential life is everywhere.

Resting inside the dry seed, clinging to your walls within a fluffy nest, floating through the air, waiting invisibly on the door knob, sticking to a slender piece of your cat's fur, percolating in your blood system. For most potential life (called PL in this blog), all it needs is a nudge, and off it goes.

"Life finds a way," the wise Dr. Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park. And it does.  To find the PL in your bedroom, just leave a bowl of water on your bureau for a month. To reveal the PL flying and floating in the air, create a backyard pond. To activate the PL waiting on your doorknob, grasp it with a sweaty hand.

In short, just add water. On your bureau, the bowl of water will brim with the colors of mold and algae, your backyard pool will gain insects and water plants and even ducks. Your sweaty palm will begin to grow microscopic, uncomfortable buddies who will use you as their host.

That's what what this blog is about. The PL everywhere, and who, what, where, when, and why it is. I will muse on the PL all around me, the life it produces, and what we can learn from it.

This blog is fiction, although it is based upon my experiences--obviously--how else could I write it? But any resemblance to real people, situations, places, bacteria or PL is completely accidental.

So let's enjoy this together.  And share your PL experiences with me!
