“There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar.

In faint adumbration there is present the dread, haunting question, Will this new relationship destroy us?...The world is annihilated; how can we know whether it will ever be built up again?
