Liminality or Death

I'm not sure if this is to be my last post on this blog or the first post in a new series... 

I'm not sure if the world will ever awaken from this dribs-and-drabs consciousness of our place in deep time or if we are condemned to fade away like every other apex species - a victim of our own sentient capriciousness and greed.... 

I'm not sure if the oceans will soon rise up in protest and wash off, once and for all, the stains of our dastardly presence on this good earth or if we will, once and for all, limit our impact on the natural rhythm of this unique, singular, precious sphere of nurtured life - at once full and impossibly diverse and absolutely solitary in the vastness of space...

I'm not sure if right is ever going to be clearly delineated from wrong, if universal truths are ever again going to be distinguished from cultivated falsehoods, if violence and predation is going to overwhelm balance and custodianship in our relationships with everything 'other' that is 'useless' to our lives...

I'm not sure if I live or die in this time and place - in this actual moment - in this air and temperature and motor-neuron function manifest in the typing of this dribble.

I'm sure, though, that I will miss it dearly when it is all gone.
