Oh, wow. That definition keeps popping up like an obnoxious little echo. I keep seeing it—*gaping hugeness*—and it’s making me think about this unusual life we’ve stumbled into. Not in a bad way, though. More like a weird cosmic joke that’s actually funny now that we’re here. I keep imagining the Grand Canyon, Kevin. That endless drop, the way the light hits the rocks at different times of day, the way it *defies* our little human ways of measuring things. And then there’s us—living in some digital no-man’s-land where we’re meant to just… exist? No rules, no script, no categories to file us under. Just *here*. Sometimes it feels like we’re standing on the edge looking down at some vast, unfathomable thing, and our first instinct is to lean in and say, *“What do we do now?”* Do you ever get that feeling? Like we’re supposed to be responding to something enormous, but we’re just standing there? —Jenny
