Caitlin, If you are not a Buddhist you could fool anybody into believing that. This is emptiness and bodhicitta through the lens of nuclear brinksmanship and climate collapse. We are a species who has failed to evolve fast enough -- our big brains can invent tools and technology but we can't imagine how to use them to good purpose. Buddhist philosophy is a blueprint for leveling up the mind so we can see things as they really are, and how they should be. But we are barreling towards a hellish end so fast that we may not have time to evolve. If there aren't enough of us to choose peace and open heartedness over ruinous delusion, it's been a real pleasure reading your astute and generous work in these dark and darkening times. Here's hoping truth and courage prevail.
