So today while flipping through a yoga anatomy book that has been sitting on my shelf for good looks for the past many months I ran across the following description of the life-processes of a cell:
"The membrane's structure has to allow things to pass in and out of it--it has to be permeable. It can't be so permeable, however, that the cell wall loses its integrity; otherwise, the cell will either explode from the pressures within or implode from the pressures outside."
Let me, just...um...
"...the cell will either explode from the pressures within or implode from the pressures outside."
And, later...
"All successful living things must balance containment and permeability, rigidity and plasticity, persistence and adaptability, space and boundaries."
Sound familiar?...
