The World (Postcards) — When I think about the end of the world I often think of a bright light. In our last moments we recount all the things that make up the world as we know it that will now be gone. A pencil, a butterfly, a hammer, a ring, a seed, a hat, a wheel, a leaf, a bird, a button, an airplane, a car, a shoe. All of the things we touched, used, saw, bought, loved, threw away. Every single one of them in front of our eyes for one last time.
