Perhaps if we all spent one day—start to finish—experiencing,
or just observing, one microcosm, we would all learn a little bit, understand a
little bit, feel a little bit more. Everything has a start and a finish,
whether it be dictated by time—hours, sunlight—or other forces such as one's own
ability to function after exerting X amount of energy after X amount of time.
Can you see?
Watching one family as they go about their day; as an airport starts up then
wanes down; as a community rouses then sleeps; as a business opens, shifts,
then closes; as an animal wakes, lives, rests; as a tide pool becomes then
disappears. What would you see? What would you learn? I am unsure. But why
would you ever do anything you knew the outcome of?!
Where is the life in that?
