we come out of the world … in the same way a tree blossoms, the universe ‘peoples’*
Oliver Burkeman

What is the new thing that is trying to spring forth from within us and among us?**
Philip Newell

It’s the way of the universe:
New things want to happen, but
a flower isn’t the telos of the tree, nor even
the fruit, rather
it is a new tree; and
new things want to come from you,
From everyone, not only the “special ones” –
I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
