There are things to do about this of course. They are just not always easy.

I feel like there's some special inflection about being that person and also caring about the environment, or whatever larger-than-the-self-or-family system. It's ... idk. That thing that will outlive me also won't be there for me in the grinding, banal ways I have been there for other people.

My dad read this at my nephew's naming ceremony. I should learn the whole thing but just remember the end.
Ah! that thou couldst know thy joy,

And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love, all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown ...

For love, all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.

These ones pay a little rent but not much -
Laura stretch’d her gleaming neck
Like a rush-imbedded swan,
Like a lily from the beck,
Like a moonlit poplar branch,
Like a vessel at the launch
When its last restraint is gone.
