By Mary Grace van der Kroef

A new universe is born as rain falls. A single drop collecting particles, building a society of microorganisms.

Territory grows as two drops combine. A joining of existences.

Marriage, war, reconciliation, peace, all pieces of community. Their reality in free fall through time until…

Pavement.

Existence continues, but becomes different.
