The frozen veil



I always wax very philosophical, or is it existential, when I watch nature documentaries such as “Frozen Planet II”. 

All humans are edited out in favor of vast expanses of ice, sea, desert or taiga, here and there with some animals trying to stay on top of things, with varying degrees of success. The killer whale seems to be the most intelligent species in lieu of Homo sapiens. The whole thing is fundamentally meaningless…and yet looks perfectly divine. 

The world of a majestic, numinous, incomprehensible god who really couldn´t care less about humanity´s petty little pastimes, preferred pronouns, or whatever we think is important at the moment. Wonder how many planets just like this one exist in the multiverse…

The frozen veil both conceals and reveals.
