RESURRECTION ENGINES AT WORK!!!
Dear Ones –
Many of you have sent me links to this story, and I just needed to share it myself — along with a big fist pump in the air for Alma Whittaker, who is very happy somewhere in fictional-character Heaven right now.
So these scientists found some "dead" 1600 year old moss under the ice in Antarctica, and revived it.
A really complicated process to revive the stuff, too: They just squirted some water on it.
Alma used to call mosses "resurrection engines" — my god, she would have loved this.
And she would have said what I always say, when people ask me why I wrote my novel about moss: "You don't get to be the oldest land plant on earth by being stupid or boring."
MOSS LIVES!
Heart,
LG
