Ancestral Home

 

I journey to the ocean several times each year

and look out to my ancestral home

although I can no longer go back there.

It’s been years since my ancestors lived there…

over three and a half billion years.

They came out of the water and developed lungs and limbs

and other complicated biological systems

which no longer allow us to return to the sea.

On some level I guess I miss swimming around in the primordial soup.

It was a simpler time.
