Time is precious
Dogen said we should strive to awaken.
Personally, I don't think anyone is remotely interested.
Perhaps that's because there are no role models.
If there were?
Well, we'd have queues around the block.
How then would we all behave?
It's hard to tell but you'd like to think we'd get along and not devour anything and everything of value.
In the end, like everything else that's ever been, we'll die out but for some (I suspect) it can't come soon enough. (I wonder if all those species we've annihilated or caused to become extinct are or have been plotting their revenge?)
Again, the rubric is manmade, but nevertheless, I wonder what the coming year will bring us.
More of the same?
Something much worse?
Or great gobs of betterment?
I know what my money is on.
Love,
Ju
