I find it fascinating, but also a little unsettling, that I can moss leaves are one cell thick but I can still see them with the naked eye.

There's a whole world down there, that i never really thought about until a week ago.

Moss is neat!

I strongly recommend you (or anyone really) read (or listen to) Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer. The audiobook is narrated by the author, and without hearing it I genuinely don't think I would have had the same appreciation for the incredible diversity of mosses and other small plants that were in the field I live by this year.
