10th grade biology class+

        Doctor Johnson was a voluptuous colored lady. She was also my
    10th grade biology teacher. She was born in Nigeria and raised in
    New Orleans. I wanted her desperately. On this day we were asked
    to dissect frogs. Each student had a jar and a cotton swab of chloroform
    and a frog. Doctor Johnson instructed us to put the frog in the jar and
    then quickly drop the swab of chloroform inside and seal the jar.
    After a few minutes we were asked to pour the contents of the jar into
    a tin tray. The cotton swab was placed back in the jar and sealed.
    The frog was ready for dissection.

        During the dissection there was a list of organs we were to check off.
    Doctor Johnson asked us for questions. I asked Doctor Johnson where
    the soul of the frog was? It got a laugh. Doctor Johnson explained that
    the body of the frog was dead. I pondered this. I was raised in a religious
    family. As I poked my pencil about the frog's inards I asked Doctor Johnson
    how did life begin? She said the frog was once a tadpole. Now, the class
    was interested in the topic.

        Another student said, "I think life began in the ocean." I knew this student
    from my neighborhood; Brad was an atheist. His parents liked to tell
    everyone they were humanist. But Brad would tell anyone he was an atheist.
    Doctor Johnson agreed with Brad, "Yes. Life began in the ocean after many
    chemical and radioactive reactions." I ponder this radioactivity.


                                  "Radioactivity?" I queried.


    Doctor Johnson gave me a bight smile, "Life is animated by bio-electrical
    impulses. Life began with solar radioactivity and lightning, which caused
    chemical reactions in the ocean."
    I looked at the square flap incision in my frog. My frog was electrical?
    At the end of class, we brought up our jars with chloroform cotton ball
    and dead frog sealed inside and placed them on a table.
    Doctor Johnson would dispose of them.


    Reflections: If consciousness is energy, then it might exists outside the
                      body. What is needed is a scientific way to measure the soul.
                      It has been proven the body looses weight at the moment of
                      death. What is that loss of weight? Perhaps, my dissected frog
                      still exists in a radioactive wave length?
