"Outside everything is teacher; ...this fallible, fabulous human race,
this improbably, beautiful planet in space.
...I must inhabit it wholly and be inhabited by it too,
as if it all could end tonight, as if it goes on forever."
These are beautiful words.
May they sink into my skin with permanent ink.
"It could all end tonight." In some ways, it feels like it already has.
But then, it does go on forever, doesn't it? Whatever forever means.
Seeing things in moss time, boulder time, planet time gives a perspective
that helps to soften the implications in this immediate, tangible, physical reality.
It doesn't lessen the grief.
It doesn't dilute the injustice and absolute wrongness of the situation.
But we continue...together.
Namaste'
