For the Love of Darwin - Jan. 16, 2026

if nature only followed

Darwin’s survival of the fittest,

why are the leaves of fall

red, yellow, gold and orange

 

why are rainbows

even more colorful

than leaves?

 

and how does

a bloodthirsty wolf

become the shih-tzu

cuddling on my lap

 

and explain why love,

that helps us endure

life and face death

 

never dies
