Social Isolation: Day 42
Why is there something rather than nothing, asked and answered in my morning feed. Neutrinos and asymmetry. I’ve read about, but never felt, neutrinos pass right through me like I wasn’t there, and through this house, this planet, always speeding away from the beginning. But asymmetry, something slightly off just enough to matter, to materialize, in ways that cannot be ignored? That I know. Only today, in an hour, I see yellow flowers (spring’s first color), five dark-blue police cars and an ambulance, one safety-yellow bird closing its wings to disappear in pine boughs, one broken-open case of cat food on the porch. I don’t see other people, just the fading traces of their having passed this way. S. Robbins, April 28, 2020
