Sometimes I wonder how the sun feels watching us needlessly destroy ourselves. Needless, because our planet, our sun and moon and solar system, provide us with everything we could possibly need. Greed, profit, acquisition accumulation, these are not needs. Just insatiable desires emerging from unexamined senses of lack, an incompleteness that’s uncomfortable to dwell within. So we destroy each other and our capacity to live on/as/with our Earth. Afterglow is a reminder that the Earth will exist even after we throw our pain at each other. Even after all our toxicity, waste, horrifying vibrations fill the planet, it will cleanse itself in our wake. It brings me comfort to know that we cannot destroy Earth, that we can only destroy ourselves.
