Thomas Cary Kinder The Harder Task
|
|
Plop a banana peel into the compost and watch the fruit-flies scatter through the room. The bucket is their world, all else, the moon and Mars and distant planets that will host them till they can return. What distant post can we fly to when our world meets its doom- when asteroid zooms in, or noxious plume or dying sun turns earth to ice or toast? It seems we have two tasks to undertake: first, finding places that will serve as well, and how to get there. That task is unnerving. The next one's worse. Somehow we have to make our life more worth the saving-learn to dwell in kindness, purpose, beauty worth preserving. |
