Q&A with Holmes Rolston: Life persists in the midst of its perpetual perishing

Abstract

Life persists in the midst of its perpetual perishing. The coronavirus brings novel experience of staying apart and keeping life safe together when finding a pasqueflower blooming at Easter. This minute critter has played havoc with mighty humans. Nature is still there, wild nature, both predictable and chaotic. The devastating virus brings struggle and promising opportunities for more caring, love, and solidarity in our human communities. Death is not the last word.
