An invitation to tea. You are the universe embodied. A cooling sack of starsHow will you orient yourself within these times?* Is this an enforced crisis?

But where exactly are we? Here we are right in the middle of an evolutionary change that's at such a magnificent scale that it's hard for us to grasp where we are.
