All we create that is grandiose and eternal comes to an end. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t still inspire awe.
“… Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure, and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame, and repair unto the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal kingdom for evermore.” — Bahá’u’lláh
Is this from the Commune side?
