Do you recall those days?
I believe it was 1968
when it was said,
We needed to destroy it
in order to save it.
you know, Kill the people
in order to keep them safe
Destroy the land
in order to keep it free.
Blow it all up
in order to keep it alive.
Didn’t make much sense
Still doesn’t.

@bsky.app Can you imagine being so void of vision and outlook and ideas that you would have to "flood the zone" with BS so that you could squeeze in some really hateful things before others could catch you? Gangster chaos.

The jackboots may be coming; already arriving for some of my friends. So, we must see the natural world around us and embrace the love of our friends and families so that when the boots stop at our door, we can turn toward them and die with beauty in our eyes while they live with death in theirs.

Let me just say that while I did not fully understand all of the half-time show last night, I knew from the very start that it was important and was communicating. All you haters out there might want to listen once in awhile

A Kintsugi Life

If we are made of light,
tho it may be dark
all around us,
we hold
the power to
shatter the darkness
into a thousand shards
and make the world
a better vessel
in which to live; filling
those broken places
with light; a gift
more valuable than gold.

Well, it took Hitler around 4 months to get the first camp up and going but the Republicans got theirs up in under 2 months. Others planned in El Salvador and other places eager to curry favor.

The scriptures said that
Pride goeth before a fall.
The thumpers should
have read a more of
the book they like to hold up
and cry over and
sell;
but their super-charged version
of boyhood masculinity is now
blinding them to their impending
stumble now that they have
adult responsibilities.

We Christian boys used to
be scared to say the word so
we would choose to say that
it was colder than h-e-double-q
although that seems to be
an odd reference given that
h-e-double-q is supposed to be fire hot
sort of like equating democracy
and fascism, I guess.

was thought to be
but the further down
the road it is, the harder
it becomes to turn back, looking
instead for the next road
or the next curve until turning
back is no longer
an option.

Once a turn is made
in the journey onto the
wrong road, it is a
tiresome task to
make the effort to
turn back; make a u-turn.
So many small efforts
have to be made starting
with the realization that
it is not the road it
