What was power now? What was religion now? What were aspirations and achievements now? What were the ideas and theories now? They carried so far and then vanished without a trace. No trace of anything! I assumed I was it, I was the last carrier of whatever memory the cosmos wanted from our hearty experiment on Earth. Enormous sadness swept through me as I remembered the few precious things that had elevated me, that had taken me from deep shadows and allowed me to dance lightly on some unseen horizon.
Of course I could see now that everything in the universe had been implicated in much of the Earth that was plain and simple once you had some experience. It had a few last thoughts, a few flights of imagination and then gave up the ghost. It all came alive in me that is the core of the tale right there. It was energy plain and simple. A few of the mystics had it right. It was not an observable fact but being itself.
