Epilogue
Implicate Orders: A Future History
Previously: … And the activity does not conclude. It continues in every direction, at every scale, at every tempo. Without beginning, without end.
From the eulogy for Ben Loomis — delivered by Anne K Loomis, The Woods, January 18, 2061:
“Before he died, my granduncle gave me a small handwritten notebook — full of lines he’d collected or composed over the years. He didn’t explain them, he just said I might find them useful someday. I’d like to read the last entry as we return his ashes to the Alsea, and from there to the Pacific:
‘Mind returns to itself like rivers to the sea.
‘The journey of separation concludes not in extinction but in reunion.
‘And what appears as loss to the fragment becomes completion to the whole.’”
