“I am too in love with this world, I think, with its inconstancies and injustices and soft instances of joy. Likewise, I am too in love with a world perceivable only in moments of transient clarity, full of old stories with new endings and languages we all once knew how to speak. I cannot forsake one for the other, nor can I abandon the pursuit of the other in order to more fully delight in the one. Perhaps this is what is meant by “the kingdom of God”: our hurt in our hands, our hope in our mouths, our feet moving forward while our hearts beat in two places at once.”

— S.T. Gibson

“If we speak the same language, why is it that, I feel I am of foreign blood and am from someplace oceans away?”

If the world is 4.5 billion years old, let’s scale that to 45 years, humans have been on it for 4 hours and have destroyed 50% of the world’s trees in 1 minute. That’s crazy.
