On the road this morning, I met a man who told me the chin-skidding view of 2012. "We're all going to be destroyed. We will run out of food. People will fight one another for what's around. It will be a free-for-all."
There was a long pause then. I waited. Nothing seemed to be happening, so then I rejoined with:
"What then?"
"What then?"
"Yes. What will happen after this stage. Nothing lasts forever."
"Oh, well then, everyone will die."
"And then?"
"And then? Well, then little flowers will come up again."
Little flowers will come up again.
We drove into the high school, and this man jumped out of the car immediately to help a foursome of highschool students, their car stuck in the snow.
Does he have any idea how much good he creates? I wondered.
