Abstract
As nature is fading Eli is resigned to try to live in the moment, mindful of Judith’s words: “It is the transitory nature of things that makes them beautiful. The only things that don’t change are dead things. But it is difficult to let go of the idea that things can be permanent—especially when it is the world we are speaking about. The silver lining is that the world seems so much more beautiful when we know that we are saying goodbye to it, at least to the way we know it. Time and time again we returns to the old ideas of Grace and Hope. We hope for a miracle, but we accept the non-appearance of a miracle with grace”.
