A piece of Cake !!!

As I was about to eat a piece of cake one morning, it came to me that it was made from a bunch of organic molecules, some carbons, oxygens, hydrogens and nitrogens. These simple atoms are in a continuous state of "recycling" since the begining of time. Some may have formed the eye of an elephant, the stem of a tree, the tendons of a monkey, the wing of a mosquito, the fins of a fish or the petals of a flower. Some may have been parts of the bodies of humans, the ear of Ikhnaton, the tongue of Moses, the hair of Cleopatra, the belly of Julius Ceasar, the leg of Haron Alrasheed, or any body-part from millions of human beings whom we never knew anything about. They may also form parts of my body, and then end up as the lining-foam of an aeroplane crossing the atlantic (something which I couldn't do myself !!!), or stick as mere dust particles of the shoe sole of an astronaut on a trip to Mars !

I then looked again at the piece of cake, somehow puzzled, shook my head and continued eating !
