The Sharpening Relief of Scarcity

Rarely do we get a real sense of our finitude. Our smallness. Our ultimate lack of control over the world. Yes, we have control of some aspects of the world, our cities, our relationships. We do not always wield good control, often misguided and certainly bad control at various times.Stand by the ocean. Take a step in. Immerse yourself in the water. Lying in the warm shallows you are yet …

Watch "Norah Jones, Chris Thile - Won't You Come and Sing For Me (Live)" on YouTube

2) Think…

And that’s how we are without a god watching over us. Rationality and progress may lead us to think we have conquered the universe, but in the absence of an overarching narrative to supply answers to our deepest existential questions, we are…
