There are people far smarter than me to listen to about the overlapping events of the day, but I will recommend reading MLK's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and pondering long & hard the role of the white moderate in where we are. letterfromjail.com

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. * RIP David Lynch

just learned of Michael's passing. he was my favorite teacher at Syracuse. i’m heartbroken. * I do not want to belabor invisibility, but if it isn’t there in the spaces among the people as a spiritual thread then I do not want to be there either. —Michael Burkard, from "The Summer After Last"
