negotiations
with the end

Meet a coffin maker, downsize for the afterlife, go out on a limb, pray for grace around flaws we haven't accounted for or understood. How else to grapple with a climate buckling under our intransigence, political calcification, irreparable relationships, impossibly upside-down world problems, or a generation of youth with unforeseeable futures? We might spend some time teed off. But also listen then meditate on the basic limitations that have always been with us, undergirding our dreams of progress, our resistance, our insistence––and our salvation.
