Beyond this, hope remains and flowers bloom and dogs wag their tails and the sun shines and kindness continues and waves crash and people gather and bread is baked and broken and wine is poured and toasts are raised and work happens and trees stretch and grow and God is worshiped and glorified and oranges are peeled and cats do that thing where they roll around on their backs in the sunlight and you think they want you to pet them but they don’t and coffee is brewed and poems are written and songs are sung and sentences run on. 

Beyond this is nothing like we can imagine, but how beautiful it is to believe and wait and imagine.
