New Nephew

Yesterday I learned that the English language doesn't have a word for a sibling that is born on a different year but with the same date. I learned this because my Brother's wife gave birth to their son and if he had been born a few hours earlier, he would have shared a birthday with his oldest sister. They will celebrate their birthdays in sequence side by side instead. He was born just after the military coup in Myanmar, the country that is sandwiched between Thailand, China, India and Bangladesh. My Brother and his wife chose the name Nathaniel, Nathan for short. I am very happy for them. 

Life is such a miracle yet it is temporary. I imagine protein machines riding DNA molecules like a zip and creating RNA strands that are then used to synthesize more protein machines and biological molecules to maintain the cells. Something so complicated yet we are unaware of it. Life is a never ending mystery, we don't know why we exist or even why the Universe is here, only that it does or at least we think it does. Perhaps this world we live in isn't real, perhaps we are just the thoughts of a supreme being or something like that.
