I feel like it's not going to be what we expect.

I don't know how to explain it. We know there are real and terrible dangers. We know there will be pain and death. We can measure the poison. We know massive change is coming.

Yet somehow, I think it won't manifest in any way that's been foreseen, predicted, modeled, anticipated or imagined by anyone. And while I don't doubt it will involve death and suffering and the loss of things and people and creatures and whole landscapes that we love, I feel it will be okay.

I do not believe in any particular god or follow a religion, but I expect a miracle. This change will be a beautiful, wonderful miracle that will happen in its own time - even in an understanding of time that is beyond me. And it will be beautiful. And somehow, there is no reason to worry.

That's how I feel right now. I don't know where that came from or even if I understand it, but when I read your post, I was filled with that.
