Sagan discusses the story of the Heike crab and artificial selection of crabs resembling samurai warriors, as an opening into a larger discussion of evolution through natural selection (and the pitfalls of intelligent design). Among the topics are the development of life on the Cosmic Calendar and the Cambrian explosion; the function of DNA in growth; genetic replication, repairs, and mutation; the common biochemistry of terrestrial organisms; the creation of the molecules of life in the Miller–Urey experiment; and speculation on alien life (such as life in Jupiter's clouds). In the Cosmos Update ten years later, Sagan remarks on RNA also controlling chemical reactions and reproducing itself and the different roles of comets (potentially carrying organic molecules or causing the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event).

St Enodoc

Shimmering shallow sands reflect the sculptured skies
Mirrored moments mask the monumental storrs
Fresh gusts rock the steady metered gait
A hurried pace to beat the tidal time

Over peninsular then climb the weaving steps
Clamber over to handpick the secret path
Cross the grassy landing as the next
Bay reveals its face the livid sudden shine

As Enodoc herself would say, it takes more than sinking dunes to make a saint.

The salty foam projects over our heads away
Mixing with the farms beyond the dry stone walls
While before the ghosts of grey approached
Now the sun scintillates under the frame

There is no map needed here
Just keep the sea to the right
Just don’t lose sight

The ruined lighthouse on the top comes into view 
This phantom figure hails the battleship behind
Draws toward us and with brooding threat
How we anticipate the pricking strikes of rain

Guest: the classical guitar and electric guitar solo on this song were played by Steve Pumphrey.

Saint Enodoc

This is a remix of a 3 year old song that I recorded with my musical friend Les (Heavenly Vine @eljay-15), who contributed the great lyrics and vocals. I always found the song well done and therefore wanted to polish it up again. I added a few sounds and remixed it and it now deserves new attention :-) 
Especially nowadays one wishes that one would have the opportunity to change the past with the knowledge of today. But would humanity really be wiser than ...?

Lyrics:

Time Machine

[Verse] 1

Climbing inside this time machine
Beautiful shape it is supreme.
Plugged into this time machine
Ain't no road map and no guide.
Set the controls here inside

[Chorus] 1

Travelling vessel to a place in time
On a journey invisible line.
Change the outcome from time gone by
Wars averted killing denied.
Time machine slick and lean
Time machine a traveling dream
Time machine changing time
Time machine you are sublime.

[Verse] 2

Wingless chrome bird flying in time
Altering wrong deeds for all mankind.
Mysterious sanctum your so refined
Journeying back to a place in time.
Take the controls here inside.

Chorus / Outro / Lyrics

Time machine slick and lean
Time machine a traveling dream
Time machine changing time

Drifting in peace
In my minds eye serenity

Freddie Hubbard's seminal Red Clay has always been one of my favorites.  Here I'm having some fun with the beautiful solo section.

YESTERDAY WAS FOREVER,
COUNT THE WAVES IN THE LONELY SUN,
I GUESS THE RIDE, IT'S BEEN THERE FOR ME,
AND NOW, THE TIDE, SWIMS AWAY,

THE CHILL OF NIGHT HAS SHADED ME,
ONE MILLION STARS IN A HEATWAVE NIGHT,
THE FADE OF DAY, IT;S A PEACEFUL SCIENE
YOU TELL YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR NEXT BEST FRIEND,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO SIT TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS, 
IN THE SUMMERTIME,

I THINK OF LIFE AND I THINK OF THE WORLD,
COUNT THE WEEKS, BUT ONLY DAYS HAVE JUST BEGUN,
THE TEST OF TIME, SOMEDAY, I'LL CALL ON YOU,
JUST TO FIND , MY WAY HOME, MY WAY HOME,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO STEAR TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS, 
IN THE SUMMERTIME,
(break)
I'M NOT ABOUT TO SIT TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS, 
IN THE SUMMERTIME,

YESTERDAY WAS FOREVER,
COUNT THE WAVES IN THE LONELY SUN,
THE TEST OF TIME, SOMEDAY, I'LL CALL ON YOU,
JUST TO FIND , 
MY WAY HOME, 
MY WAY HOME,
MY WAY HOME

MY WAY HOME

The Pillars of Creation: Of course, they were far from there the Universe started to "create". Anyway, creating us was not a plan of the cosmos. Where do we come from? Where we are going? The cosmos does not ask itself such questions in view of the dimensions. We should not waste our limited lifetime. Live now, live happily, do what you are. We all take nothing ... there!

Addendum: "I don't know what's happening here, but when I uploaded this track a year ago, it stopped after 49 plays. No one was interested in it anymore. Now it "explodes" (of course I cringe at such a percentage increase, HELLO?) and I'm unsure if I should upload more songs? Or should I go into politics after all?

And please do not think of a blue elephant!!!
