Ahrend Torrey invites readers to be participants in the play. He takes us into nature, inside and outside of the city; we emerge into fresh air. With humility, we're conscious of destructive forces, from aging to gas-powered engines. We rebel against misery, choosing transfiguration into action. Through examining the nature of reality, consciousness, and the shared or no-time life experience, we walk away with a universal here-now. In This Moment, Now, is not a question:
To Wonder about Dandelion Seeds Is to Wonder about Ourselves
I watch brown puffs of sparrow. So many, so common.
In an instant this could be over. In an instant a nuke or storm could
hit, as it has, or worse. Now only, we feel air settle in our lungs,
we can preserve the earth, we can blow at the stalk of dandelion
seeds. This is not a question. Now, is not a question.
-The yellow-fanned dandelions are alive!-But what about their seeds blown in today's noon air-lifting off rooftops ... how will they
survive?
