Can You Really Live One Day at a Time?

The New Yorker

Productivity culture encourages us to live inside our tasks and projects. But nature offers its own organizational system. This summer, I reread the novel " Aurora," by Kim Stanley Robinson, a science-fiction writer whom I profiled a few years ago. Robinson has an ecological orientation, and "Aurora" is basically a book about how we fit into nature. It ends on a beach, with an extended description of swimming in big waves. It's early morning, and the waves, as they rise, "turn a deep translucent green."
