WHEN YOU CONSIDER it from a human perspective, and clearly it would be difficult forus to do otherwise, life is an odd thing. It couldn’t wait to get going, but then, having gottengoing, it seemed in very little hurry to move on.

Consider the lichen. Lichens are just about the hardiest visible organisms on Earth, butamong the least ambitious. They will grow happily enough in a sunny churchyard, but theyparticularly thrive in environments where no other organism would go—on blowymountaintops and arctic wastes, wherever there is little but rock and rain and cold, and almostno competition. In areas of Antarctica where virtually nothing else will grow, you can findvast expanses of lichen—four hundred types of them—adhering devotedly to every wind-whipped rock.
