There is going to be an energy crisis, obviously. The supply of oil is finite, and the whole notion that the essence of the good life resides precisely in its abundance and in a casually spendthrift approach to everything, is going to have to be revalued. There’s no question about that.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, I am
a beginner beginning to lose
sight of what I was beginning, I am
beginning a house I am beginning
to grow filaments. I took you in, I took
you into my mouth into my hands I heard
the flutter of your creaseless heart
I heard your curls and your muscles”
Maggie Nelson | “The Beginner”
