Spaces

Hello friends!  In our last story, we left the ending for you to make. Why would we leave a space, a hole in our story?  This is because the most magical things come in spaces.  The spaces between cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, worlds, universes...is where chemicals, current, ions, gravitational force, conversations, and feelings pass between.  The fact that everyTHING, enveloped in space can and will communicate with each other is remarkable!

So in the space between last week and this week, we hope you thought about some of the scenarios that could've caused the nerve cells to stop communicating with each other.  Maybe it was a vortex or black hole, so tiny yet strong enough to remove the neurotransmitters, or maybe there were inhibitor toxins preventing the neurotransmitters to be produced, or other microbial monsters.  Maybe some type of high pitched frequency that affected brain waves which caused the brain to change the body chemistry.  Let your mind fly in the space of time.

As you could see in the case of neurons the space or synapse was important.  Without messages transported from one cell to another through this space, the whole purpose of having neurons is lost. Here's a poem that tries to explain the importance of space.

Spaces

It's in the spaces where everything is happening!
The spaces between our cells 
Chemicals flow
The spaces between two people 
Conversations pass
The spaces between two planets 
Forces hold

What happens in the spaces...
Magical Connections!
