It’s a struggle for the new chick to peck its way out of the egg. We postmoderns still seeking truth have the same basic problem to solve, but the eggshell is less visible. Make no mistake though we are each inside the thing, struggling to get out, and find out what is on the other side. And then of course we each have to figure out what do next. The good news is that there are a lot of us.

today I watched some of our actual chicks bash aside a big chunk of eggshell for the rest of us – school strikes around the country to protest inaction on climate change. Difficult to put a name on this feeling, but my god it’s a strong one.
