Well...

Well...

In 1859, Sarah Josepha Hale wrote an editorial advocating for Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Why?

“Everything that contributes to bind us in one vast empire together, to quicken the sympathy that makes us feel…we are one family…is worthy of being cherished.”

That was her hope for America.

In quiet can be found
The art of letting it be.
Acceptance blooms wide
When boundaries dissolve.
Find the courage to be free.

There is magic
in the flow.
Richness of
what simply is.
Embrace the world
as it comes.
Harmony unfolds.
In a quiet heart.

Rigid stone shatters,
Bamboo whispers
Flexibility breathes.

@mika-brzezinski.bsky.social The crazy intolerant reaction to your journalistic visit to the next president is mind-blowing. This kind of intolerance is exactly why the left has been repudiated leaving cleverly positioned propaganda on the right to take root.

Thanks Adrian!

Thank You Adrian!

Thank You Adrian!

The sun now shines
With golden grace,
Smiles upon
My upturned face.

Release the weight
That binds your soul,
Let go of shadows
Sing yourself whole.

Embrace the moment
Let love flow,
In every heartbeat
May your spirit grow.

Hold your values tight,
Yet keep an open heart
Let new ideas ignite.
Every ending is a start.
It's together
We must journey
Values with openness,
Let’s build
Instead of fighting
And find the treasure in
This glorious mess.

Let Us Not Be Surprised We should have expected Trump to make clownish picks—even for Defense, Justice and Intelligence—driven by fealty. Are there enough sane senators to stop him from dismantling the government?

“Let’s not be surprised…let’s not wonder why he would choose people who would significantly weaken key institutions of our democratic system…this is not about building the future, but about ripping apart the world most Americans rely on for safety & security.” www.americaamerica.news/p/let-us-not...

We know this because we lived this with Trump for the last eight years. Keeping focus is difficult. We're going to need to get better at this.
