I stopped eating animal products a year ago*. Big deal.
I'm not telling you what to do.
Ultimately, in the most ultimate, final sense, I don't care.
Sun consumes the earth. Everything bathes in fire. Great. Got it. Nothing matters. Whatever.
But,
my life is happening now
and although I don't subscribe to the word "god", because it is manmade,
I do respect the universe as a creative force.
From a design and engineering standpoint,
from the microscopic to the vast ends of time,
in every drop of blood
that oozes life al all kinds
(yeah, sure I still kill flies and *I'll eat oysters and occasional fish.)
out of awe and fear,
I tip my cap to you, Sun and moon,
stars, all that stuff.
For I, too, am your creation,
and I hold sincere, intermittent gratitude
for all that you have given to me, to us
and I will give my selected efforts
to a futile struggle of
wonder and beauty.
