A Spiritual Journey
by Wendell Berry

And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home.

When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just realized her adult children’s insurance premiums would double if the Republican cuts to ACA go through.

She’s broken party lines and is siding with the Dems.

How many more MAGA people are out there like her? Who don’t realize these cuts will financially devastate them?

Panel 1 A figure stands at a lectern "This image illustrates my theory that, presented with a sufficient quantity of intricate formulae, overcomplicated diagrams and impenetrable acronyms, an audience will agree with almost anything." The screen is completely packed with such things Panel 2,3,4,5. Four audience members say enthusiastically: "My thoughts exactly!", "Hear, hear!", "I quite agree!" and "Excellent point!"

A memory drifted in: my late mom’s favorite Doyo (song for kids). I couldn’t recall every word, but...
"...what if a canary forgets to sing? ...Let it float on a shimmering boat in the moonlit sea; it will sing again, its song remembered."
A tenderness I’ve longed for.
Take care, everyone 🤍🫶✨

This is great fun!

'Berlin at Night.' (c1860) Described by Degas as the ‘greatest living master’ during his lifetime, Adolph von Menzel is less remembered today outside of Germany than the French painter who admired him; his career deserves far greater appreciation and study than it receives.

God of pain and love

I imagine a coalition of religious groups, nonreligious groups, even atheists united under something like “in love we trust” bc kindness, responsibility, compassion and inclusion are not uniquely or even wholly religious values. If they steal God, we can claim love bc they sure don’t have that.

No mainstream leaders, pundits, media, will treat her life as important as Kirk's.

None will see this shooting as dangerous as Kirk's.

None will value a brown woman as much as that white man.

This isn't just about Republicans. It's the values at the heart of leadership & institutions in America.

Who can resist the brilliance of magenta? Along with purple, it is one of my favorite colors (who am I kidding, I love them all!)
