And so it goes....
And so another day of waking up under a purple dot. Although the air quality index dot on the map is more like a deep burgundy. And we all spend a long long winter of snow and cold to find spring and this is what we get. The carbon dioxide in the air seems to be good for the plants though. They are thriving green in their pots. There is some kind of horrible explanation out there that the air is toxic and maybe we can’t eat those plants at harvest. I will anyway. I’ve long since stopped giving a damn about the scare mongering going on. What is, is. There are always more things out there to scare us such as nuclear war and market collapses and another pandemic. Eventually it all becomes a mush of mayhem and we go on about our days. We will all eventually die and it is about coming to peace with the notion. Sometimes I think we are stardust waking up in these squirmy fragile bodies at birth and most of our lives are spent simply learning to contend with our limitations. Perhaps when we die our limitations will be gone and we will dance a jig in the cosmos and laugh. I don’t know. All I know is we are given the gifts of touching, feeling, sensing, seeing… Even if it is through a haze darkly.
