Today's prompt word was "cascade" but what I ended up thinking about was apocalypse-revelation.

Have something portentous!



What level of apocalypse are you on now? Has the climate crisis cascaded into greater waves of migration, pandemics, wars?

Have you remembered yet that "apocalypse" means "revelation"? What level of revelation are you on now? Has your Gaia sense awakened? Have you pushed another and felt your own hands on your back? As miners pry coltan from the earth, do you feel a hollowness in your chest?

Revelations shine like asteroid strikes. Ask the mayfly for a song.

We talk about revelations hitting us...

That's wonderful.

I was thinking, but didn't have the space for it, also about differences in time. Geologic-time revelations/apocalypses or eyeblink revelations/apocalypses. So the best I could do was stick the mayfly in there.

Extremely relatable.

Yeah, I feel like maybe we have radios tuned to the same apocalypse frequency. Or a near channel.
