Raindrops fall on the surface of the pond. Expanding circles intersect. Bubbles appear at the center and vanish, one by one.

What's there is there, and when it is revealed I seek it in the same place, but it is no longer there. I look under the same rock and the crayfish is gone. I go to the same street corner but the coyote does not come. My hand is a fist in the water, it grasps hard but comes up empty.

The rain stops. The pond is still. _

This story by Andrei Codrescu is the best thing I have heard yet about the economic collapse. The audio is highly recommended. _

explanation
75. It is a very extraordinary instance of the force of prejudice, and much to be lamented, that the mind of man retains so great a fondness, against all the evidence of reason, for a stupid thoughtless Somewhat, by the interposition whereof it would as it were screen itself from the Providence of God, and remove Him farther off from the affairs of the world.
-George Berkeley
