Indeed, and I would add to it: How shall we experience the personal singularity accompanying (preceding?) the social singularity, whether with horror or liberation, will largely depend on the quality of our relationships in the self-organizing, free associations of free agents.
Seek guidance before chaos erupts
Seek guidance before cluelessness prevail
Seek guidance before despair sits in
Seek guidance from the mothers, who want to raise
their children in a peaceful and prosperous world
Seek guidance from the plant beings, who want to grow
in harmony with their siblings in the ecosystem
Seek guidance from the Regenaissance believers, who act
on their belief, with grace and gusto
Seek guidance from the wiser ones among us, who bow down
in humility to the sincere seeker in you
Seek guidance from within, from your Self expanded
to include the larger wholes of eternal Life
That is possible, and it will need to be a constellation of collective Buddhas that Thich Nhat Hahn was talking about.
What questions will help guide our attention to discover and cultivate them?
and facing into the long, dark night of humanity,
trusting that dawn will come,
holding hands,
and nurturing our very aliveness that connects ~
no matter what
is strength.
