We, the specks

We are tiny specks of matter on the cosmic scale with nanoseconds of time to spend in the cosmic reach. And for most of us, most of the time, this hasn't sunk in. We go about our business of dancing between good and evil, loving with desperation, hating easily, fucking our brains out, abandoning our children, dying for them, killing indiscriminately, revealing the complexity and beauty of nature then destroying it, gossiping, telling ourselves our stories with honesty and grace, dreaming ourselves out of our grim realities, imagining ourselves into more comfortable worlds, walking the tightrope between power and justice.

Specks, maybe. But we are humans, and all we have is one another.
