I have no idea what the answers are. I did read the New Yorker article and found it fascinating. I suspect we're managing this plague so poorly partly because there are so many freaking people now and we're all so interwoven and globalized, and the immediate effects of infection don't SEEM as hazardous. (It's not like the bubonic plague, where a significant number of people dropped dead fairly quickly.) As I understand it, humans aren't good at assessing risk when the dangers unfold over a longer period of time or aren't immediately clear.<br /><br />I never did see Neowise, though I did see Hale-Bopp many years ago.

But that sounds like work outside my skill set. Living in the intellectual, existential works for me. "Know the pain I feel. Do the action that pain tells me to take." It doesn't not remove the condition, or despair. For me, your constant creative expression and notes to the world is remarkable testimonial. You identify and expand the mystery.Judy Kohnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606250755082084118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-48307995604678653842020-07-26T00:25:56.160-07:002020-07-26T00:25:56.160-07:00Thx for the poem.

There are only so many ways to unhook from consciousness. And all the acceptable ones are temporary. I feel the hurt of the world so intensely right now. It doubles me over. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.com
