"Life is weaker than Death and Death is weaker than Truth." Kahlil Gibran This refers to the Ultimate/Absolute/Universal Truth, the true nature of reality beyond ordinary understanding. (Not Relative Truth such as the way things appear and function in everyday life experiences.)

“There’s a responsibility in this time of chaos where elected officials need to hear what people are irritated about, and I would argue that Democratic officials should hear the primal scream that’s coming from America and do something.” Tim Walz He was constrained now he isn't now. Hopeful, maybe.

It all started w/ everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame. It took 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days 8 hrs, 40 minutes for the Nazis to dismantle a constitutional republic. This is how Gov. J.B. Pritzker paralleled the Trump Administration to what happened in the 1930's.

I have such respect for this man. I truly hope he gets the backing he needs to win the planned attack from dictators/tyrants of other countries, including our own.

I bought these 3 hand painted rocks in Tucson AZ from a bird feed store that also featured artists crafts. I thought they were so beautiful and amazing. The rocks are flat and have magnets glued to the back to use on refrigerators. I gifted them to my son & now that I live with him I get to enjoy.

There is no pure mind. There is only a trained mind. Minds nature is to think, divide, plan. It's full of bothersome opinions. It thinks of itself as separate; the heart knows better. The mind creates the abyss and the heart crosses it. Wisdom does not reside in the mind, but the heart. (Buddha) ☮️💌

Birds of prey do not need their mice and baby chick's pureed. They have been tearing them apart all by themselves since the beginning of time. I think it's psychopathic to blend up live animals in a blender. Sick freak!

This AM I retrieved my "Henry David Thoreau, Waldon Pond and Other Writings" from my shelf. I re-read Civil Disobedience. Was trying to remember the reason he was jailed & couldn't. He refused to pay a tax to a Church that he didn't attend. He was amazed by the walls. His mind transcened it all.

Peace is not distant, it lives in every choice, every act of kindness, every whispered hope for tomorrow. (Found at history fanatica - no credit given. Final post of the full quote due to lack of space.) SO, PEACE is threaded through life itself. It's easily realized in a life lived in awareness.

Peace blooms in the spaces where anger fades, when hands reach across the divides, and wounds of yesterday are mended with threats of understanding and love. (Found at history fanatica. No credit given. Too long so will continue once more to conclude.)

Peace is the quiet breath of the earth after a storm, a soft light spilling through the sorrow. It's the melody whispered between strangers, a bridge where hearts meet without words. (Found at history fanatica with no credit. Not enough space...to be continued in another post).

I cut my TV on and it's just a Guide /black screen. However, cable is working fine for ROKU channels. I guess it could be any glitch but it got me wondering about how easy it would be to disrupt our connections to what is goiing on in the country. We'd be like the Germans who claimed not knowing.

I used to have an active FB acct that was political and stressful too. I quit posting a year ago. Now, I'm trying to get back to a more peaceful place when I journaled and read and gardened and was involved in bird counts for science. I have folders and books of favorite things. I'll start there.

Global Genecide...USA withdraws from the Paris Agreement for Climate Control. What the world must think of us! We are FAST becoming Enemy #1. I need to stop watching Democracy Now (for today). It's not good for me. At least my dog Mellow is living up to his name this morning. Looks comfy.

LGBTQ & HIV PROJECT. ACLU! The USA now declares there are only two genders...male and female. The ACLU is bracing for not just verbal abuses but also physical harm toward those outside of the declaration. The lawyers at the ACLU support the civil rights of the people through donations only.

Day 3.. The mass sorrow and fear begins for so many immigrants and dreamers and their entire family units. Monsters have been allowed to take over. It's been a slow progression that we "the woke" watched and voted against for many years while no meaningful changes took place to stop ANY of it.

I'm doing the Zucker Blackout and not watching news on TV today. But I really want to know about the "dictator on day 1" supposed big changes. I follow a couple of journalists here so hopefully I can learn about who will suffer most and support them. I'm going on a little bsky hunt.

I wrote down this quote over 20 years ago because I related to it so much. "Solitude is a font of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words." Carl Jung 1957

Honesty starts with us. Identifying those who habitually abuse our time and energies is pivotal. Avoiding them is where we stumble. Artificial acceptance of people and circumstances we resent makes us ill tempered. Honest self love does wonders for our personality, and our art. - Julia Cameron
