Two strands of the DNA molecule, encoded with the letters – A C G T zip open. The code is copied. Sent as a message from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Transfer RNA reads it and executes the instructions. Protein is made by collecting the specified amino acids. It is placed in the right order, in chains of polarity, where it stabilises. Then, it is folded up into the right shapes to form the building stones of man. 1)
Red was such a man. His blood pumped red in his veins. He would do anything for you, engage in toxic toil for you, wear a mask and lose his soul for you. Until one day when he could not take it anymore, and cried – this is not who I am!
Then, You called him out upon the waters
into the great unknown, in oceans deep
where feet may fail
In deepest waters, where grace abounds,
I called upon Your name, and kept my eyes above the waves.
Holy Spirit, let me trust you, let me walk upon the waters, wherever you may lead me.
