You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

Momento mori.
And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

Once 4 billion chestnut trees spanned most of the Eastern US, before a blight destroyed them. Restoration efforts began in 1985, with story-telling as a key component. It's the most far reaching example of trees in public history in a new essay collection: 1/x

Sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part.
But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It’s not about that solution. It’s about being as fearless as one can—and behaving as beautifully as one can—under completely impossible circumstances.

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
…
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
