We were watching Nature on PBS tonight, a story about fig trees in Africa and the complex ecosystem that support them. A lot happens there on a really small scale; tiny fig wasps crawl inside the developing fruit to lay eggs and pollinate even tinier flowers. Then they die in there while worms and other parasites try to sabotage everything... It was quite beautiful and sad and stressful. It makes me think about the small small particles that make up everything we are and see and live with. And the spaces in between them.
