The dickinsonia is a 550-million-year-old sea organism whose soft body has left very few fossils. The rare traces of its existence have left the scientific community doubtful. Similarly to this old life form, our oldest memories, blurry and unclassified at the depth of our minds, only seem to leave vague impressions. These visceral stories, written in the flesh but almost inaudible, could resurface. Unexplained and sudden ripples would move through our tissues, shaking us at times, with potentially healing effects.
