IN A COUNTDOWN

Above all, we must avoid the temptation to assign attributes to, or to name the source of what we are experiencing.

The energy we feel, we must not say or believe is the energy, even though the urge for us to do so is overwhelming.

Part of us wants to believe that we have been singled out and done this favor, or otherwise have been chosen, or that we have earned it or achieved it somehow.

As we stare out our respective windows, our respective light poles flipping past one after the other, we feel in a countdown.
