bizarre, from that alien vantage
point, where all humans would
look the same.
Another daydream I have
is about what it’ll be like to
die. I have enough faith not to
be terrified of the prospect, but
what sticks in my craw about
it would be saying goodbye to
my loved ones. Even though
I’m an ambitious person who
likes to accomplish things,
that doesn’t seem remotely
as important as the prospect
of leaving my sweetie in an
empty house without night time
cuddles. I don’t want to miss
out on my kids’ lives, nor leave
them without their number one
cheerleader. Who would talk
baby talk to my skittish kitty,
and who would run with my
two feelings can go together.
Like at funerals, when no one
talks about the deceased’s
failings because they all seem
suddenly irrelevant.
What
matters then is just the love we
feel in sorrowful moments, and
it’s the love that shows us that
we aren’t unique after all.
Love shows us we’re
better than special. It melts the
differences between us, and the
funny thing is, that melting away
of differences brings us joy.
Because really, I think the alien
view is the truth. People aren’t
that distinct. We’re billions of
tiny cells bumping around and
maybe even consuming each
other in a mass human body that,
when we really pay attention,
lives through our hearts as one.
dogs? Who will be there for
my clients? And I simply can’t
leave my mother.
So, back in my current
reality, I watch the news about
a severely disturbed man killing
a bunch of people at a gay bar. I
hear various people condemning
the killer and his background,
and some condemning the killed.
I feel my own darkness want to
pick sides and join in the fray.
Then, I see a gay family member
share a post about people lined
up around a block to donate
blood to wounded victims. On
the news, I see an ex-soldier,
hailed as a hero, crying that he
didn’t help more people than he
courageously did.
I feel grief and a soulful
connection. It’s funny how the

Sometimes, I daydream
about what I would think about
people if I were an alien looking
down at the earth. It would be
like being a human looking at an
ant farm: people scurrying here
and there, all sharing enough
basic attributes that I wouldn’t
be able to tell one from another.
I’d notice them moving about,
lying around, fighting, frolicking
and communicating.
From that point of view,
it would be funny to learn that
humans believe they’re unique.
It’d be hard to fathom that
people saw other humans so
different than themselves that
they qualified them as bad or
good, some worthy of worship,
and some of death.
That’d definitely be
