Message in a Bottle

This is more or less how I think about "God" and "creation." When I think about it at all.

Add the necessary seeds and resources. Let things grow and die and evolve in the natural cycle of things. Intervene only when absolutely necessary. Don't tap on the glass: it only upsets the critters.

"It was Easter Sunday, 1960, when Mr. Latimer thought it would be fun to start a bottle garden 'out of idle curiosity.' [He] agrees the bottle garden is 'incredibly dull in that it doesn't do anything,' but remains fascinated to see how long it will last."
