It's all pretty overwhelming. So I've been saving this bee cookie photo for a day when there was too much and nothing else to say:
My friend gave the cookie to me. I appreciated the thought, though it came in a plastic sleeve that had to be disposed of in a landfill. It's definitely cute, but it didn't taste very good. It was meant to celebrate nature, but everything it's made from comes from an industrial source.
Those kinds of balances (or contradictions) seem to exist in everything. It's exhausting to recognize even some of them, and impossible not to.
But in the end, I ate the cookie because throwing it away would be wasting it, which would be worse.
