I stream WRTI, a public radio station out of Philadelphia, that broadcasts classical music 6A-6P and jazz 6P-6A. It helps me to tune out the noise of the world. https://WRTI.org

If you prefer classical *or* jazz, they also offer 24-hour streams of one or the other.

British Programmes. The Repair Shop got me through the horror of the pandemic. Doctor Who is another one, and the Great British Bake Off. Something about their programming that is so quirky, quaint, and polite.

Cemeteries have been doing it lately. The older the better, but new is fine, too. The more remote the better, but city is fine, too.

It’s nature AND existentialism AND historical imagination AND my nosiness about other people all in one spot.

Plus this guy.

Just remembering what I can change and who I can talk to. I cannot change the country in one day or even one year, but I can be with friends who are struggling (or when I myself am struggling), be more active in church. As long as I am alive, there will always be one more sunrise for me.

I’ve been working on a book since I was 18 (29 years) & about 20 years ago I proclaimed it done because the story wasn’t telling itself to me. A short while ago I figured out how to go from the last chapter to the epilogue which didn’t feel empty. Going to finally finish the book, need to read 2day.
