Grief is an element. It has its own cycle like the carbon cycle, the nitrogen. It never diminishes not ever. It passes in and out of everything.
I figure I've done what I could do, more or less, and now I'm going back to being a chemical; all we are is a lot of talking nitrogen, you know.
We have an atmosphere that is roughly 21% oxygen. The rest of it is largely nitrogen. There's just enough carbon dioxide (CO2) to drive photosynthesis. That has been, throughout the history of our species, pretty stable. Until recently.
Growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93 percent of the oxides of nitrogen.
We have decisively changed the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the rate of extinction.
Too often, chefs just want to experiment - they want to use liquid nitrogen before they know how to use heat.
