"The universe is unraveling. It still is. We won the day. We won the battle. We won whatever unit of measurement you care to say that we won [...]. But, of course, we did not stop the unraveling of the universe. The universe is not a thing that is, it is not a thing at all. It is the very action of it's going [...].
So look at the fleeting starts with fleeting eyes, and feel how the earth beneath you gives. It is all a temporary manifestation of particles, and it is all unraveling back to particulate silence. The bustle of the human day will come and will go. An then, there will be night.
But how beautiful these moments within the dissolve! What a temporary perfection we can find within this passing world! Everything good ever done! Everything good that was done today, and all the good people doing it, and back and back and forward and forward, all of that beauty within a universe unraveling.
Be proud of your place in the cosmos.
It is small, and yet it is.
How unlikely!
How fantastic!
And stupid.
And excellent."
