Everything That Became You
Macrocosm As Microcosm
Mary Garcia had terminal cancer and was near the end of her 47-year-old life.
She stopped breathing at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon.
Not only did her personal life flash before her eyes but all of life itself:
The Big Bang erupted in a vast explosion of space and time and matter.
The Big Birth seeded the first multi-cellular life on earth that evolved into fish and rodents and monkeys and apes.
The Big Belief endowed such apes with a symbol-using consciousness and the unique desire to connect with higher powers.
All of this was her full story.

Getting out of the house can be hard
"Come on Jack, wake up. It's 7:30 already. You'll be late. Don't you wanna have breakfast?" "Mmmmm." "Yeah I know, you probably stayed up till 2 again, playing that stupid game. Whatever, you're not 12 anymore. You do you. But don't say I didn't try when they kick you out of school for too many missed classes."
