The Essence (and explanation) of a Linear Existence

...From the DS9 Pilot...  Each day affects the next.  The day in the park.  It was a day that was very important, a day that shaped, every day that followed.

Then the baseball analogy.  All the preparation and strategy, before the uncertainty of each individual pitch.  You value your ignorance of what is to come?  ...It is the unknown that defines our existence.  Explorers... Explore our lives, day by day.

Quite the timing, to complete this episode on her birthday...  The whole timing of the pandemic, a manifestation of the type of conversation to be had in South Africa without actually having it.  All a part of the grand unfolding.  Down to the last detail of knowing where she is waking now.

I know not exactly what is to come, but I look forward to playing it out.  The PARC and then the Pandemic quite the one-two punch in terms of the exit strategy.  I wonder.
