"You that never done nothin'
but build to destroy,
You play with my world,
like it's your little toy."

Bob Dylan

“Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

This quote is from The Wounded Healer by Henri J.M. Nouwen.

"To be called 'woke' in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult - it is the Gospel. Woke means awakened by compassion. Guided by truth. Humbled by grace. Committed to justice - not just for some, but for all."

~ Pope Leo XIV

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

happy bday writer Ursula K. Le Guin, b.1929, Berkeley, CA.

“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”

“We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?”

May we rage when we must and rest when we can.
May we build the peace we so desperately need.
May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires.

And may our voices join tomorrow to become a mighty and righteous roar. #NoKings

Let nothing be called natural in an age of bloody confusion, ordered disorder, planned caprice, and dehumanised humanity, lest all things be held unalterable!

- Brecht

I remember.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.”
