@process @LiseL If we make it far enough for global warming to take us out. Getting more doubtful by the day that we will while there's sociopaths in charge of countries who seem determined to burn the world down.

@FrankCannon @process

I hate to agree with you on this, but I do. Let's hope against hope that we're wrong.

@LiseL It's the last thing I want to be right about but events are starting to snowball rapidly now. @process

@FrankCannon @LiseL @process 1962, 1984... These were also time where the world seemed hell bent on its end.

There have been others. It's a trite saying, oft repeated, "it is always darkest before the dawn..." so perhaps it is better to say that we cannot be assured of what will happen tomorrow, and that is the cradle of hope.

We can always choose in the now to live towards the best aspirations of hope, and love, or to surrender to despair.

We plant the seeds of tomorrow with that choice.

@NiveusLepus Unfortunately anything good we may plant doesn't get long enough to thrive before it's pulled out by the root these days.We may choose and want to live peacefully but those currently with the power to bring that about simply don't want it. @LiseL @process

@FrankCannon @LiseL @process But Coso exists, and we exist, and nothing can invalidate the choices we make. Not the powerful, not any form of arm or millitary movement. Only we can shackle ourselves, silence ourselves, and surrender to despair.

I am only one, but I am one, and no matter how often those seeds are uprooted, as long as I hold to hope, there will be more seeds to plan.

All is impermanent. I am impermanent. The work does not end, but that does not mean the work is not worth doing
