Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz: Goodbye, America Europa und die USA hält nicht mehr viel zusammen, schon gar keine gemeinsamen Werte mehr. Diese Tage markieren das Ende des Westens, wie wir ihn kennen.

Goodbye, America

INSTEAD OF DEPRESSION try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don't even dream. It's okay if you can't imagine spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave. Andrea Gibson

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
