A Quiet Day


Video by Nancy Gandhi

For human beings around the world: What has a quiet day come to mean? Whatever it means, is it achievable, or partially or wholly prevalent, or has it become irrelevant, obscure; out of hand, out of bounds?

For creatures other than humans, large and small: Fortunately such inquiries or questions do not arise: they do not know that they exist, nor the laws that govern the universe. Neither do they know the turbulence of the planet they inhabit, which is almost entirely manufactured by the ingenuity of mankind, which, even when it is constructive, always leaves some destruction in its wake.
