We are all born and someday we__l all die. Most likely to some degree alone.What if our aloneness isn__ a tragedy? What if our aloneness is what allows us to speak the truth without being afraid? What if our aloneness is what allows us to adventure _ to experience the world as a dynamic presence _ as a changeable, interactive thing?If I lived in Bosnia or Rwanda or who knows where else, needless death wouldn__ be a distant symbol to me, it wouldn__ be a metaphor, it would be a reality.And I have no right to this metaphor. But I use it to console myself. To give a fraction of meaning to something enormous and needless.This realization. This realization that I will live my life in this world where I have privileges.I can__ cool boiling waters in Russia. I can__ be Picasso. I can__ be Jesus. I can__ save the planet single-handedly.I can wash dishes.
