Hidden things--good and bad. The administration's secretive programs could destroy us--will certainly destroy our democracy if not reversed. Then there are other types of hidden things--invisible connections underlying all living things, from the most infinitesmal to the edges of the universe itself (if it has any edges). In these connections may lie the secret to retaking our democracy and reclaiming reverence for life as the only sane option for a species that starts dying the moment it is born, yet relentlessly seeks to kill as if believing that will give it immortality.
