If we were having coffee: 4th of July edition

Clouds at sunset.

Celebration — is self restraint, is attentiveness, is questioning, is meditating, is awaiting, is the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder — the wonder that a world is worlding around us, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are as we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know all this.

~ Martin Heidegger, 1942
