The Next Last Day

by Further Down

With the world burning around us, the importance of the current moment is core, not to get lost. Focus on the important, i.e. the non-urgent, the ectoplasmic material in the cracks between the whirlwinds of hurry, angst and greed around. Scarred ourselves, yet with unrelenting blissful resistance to the unforgiving circumstances, an apocalypse is not about giving up. Circling around the chaos to find one’s own unique place(s), hailing and embracing the rare people that share their whereabouts. Connection, mutuality and community as the means to walk through the harsh cliffs of the world.
WRONG was the shock, the immediacy, the pursuit of a footing. The Next Last Day is a crude map of the territory; tracing a track, a watchful way through and home.
