How to balance the benefit to ourselves and the good we may have done with that apocalyptic cost? Shame is not an option, but neither are blinkers. Ironically, it is now our duty, born out of the love we learned for the world in which we journeyed far and wide, to counsel the next generation to stay at home: Please, don’t do as we did, do as we have learned. And perhaps we can learn with them to look down, to look around, to appreciate the nature close at hand? Perhaps we can learn with them to focus the curiosity we felt about distant others in our local communities, all those unknown-known people we fail to meet. Not at all that we should forsake the places and the peoples that we were blessed to visit and to know. But now we can serve them best - care for them best - by staying still a while, sharing our stories, having the interests of distant others in our hearts as we take baby-steps to remake the world. Our travelling days may be - must be - done, but our greatest journey has just begun: twice blessed, we can travel deep within ourselves, and among and in solidarity with our neighbours of all species: we can make the pearl in the oyster.
