hope

roses have been symbols of love, rebirth, and hope for millenia. some things endure, despite the despair that short term events sometimes elicit. in the year 3,000, there will still be roses. make your thousand year plans. know that yesterday was a shameful episode in a long story, and decide what you will want to be true, not tomorrow, not in 2021, but when your great grandchildren’s great grandchildren’s great grandchilren’s great grandchildren will be alive, and trying to make sense of their lives.
