Not too controversial Music take. The Red Hot Chili Peppers would not exist without the Minutemen. Lots of indie rock would not exist without the Minutemen.

In Memoriam Congressman John Lewis 2/21/1940-7/17/2020 Honoring the little boy from Troy who dared to dream of freedom and equality for all and believed all things were possible if you got in good trouble. There is no need to miss our precious hero because he lives in each ballot we cast. 🧵1/2

Among my mostly #gratefuldead photos is this great portrait of Waylon Jennings. It is unsigned but markings on the back suggest 1977. Been listening to Waylon all day grading essays at home. Broke the mold when Waylon was made! #outlawcountry

It’s Sunday. Each week we start w/ The Law of Pure Potentiality. You are consciousness itself, both as it manifests in the material world, and as it lies unmanifest in your being. I highly recommend The Seven Spiritual Laws by Deepak Chopra. It has been my Bible for 12 yrs. #yogaservant #growth

From my small collection of Grateful Dead pictures and photographs. I have this one framed and hanging on my wall though it is not an original photograph. Still it is a wonderful, energetic shot. Jerry is playing the TB 500, so I am guessing that this is from 1977. #GratefulDead #deadhead

Living in Southern Connecticut, I take for granted some of the best pizza in North America found in venerable mom and pop places like Roseland Apizza in Derby CT. #pizza #Connecticut #dinnerlastnight

It's Frederick Douglass Day today!

submitted 11 days ago • 0 comments

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” Happy Birthday #FrederickDouglass #BlackHistoryMonth

Hoping to do lots of #fishing for #stripedbass in 2025 and to #catchandrelease the fish I catch. The East Coast stock is under duress and in need of conservation. www.saltwaterguidesassociation.com/striper-acti...

A lifetime sports fan with just about zero interest in the over-corporatized gambling riddled Super Bowl, not to mention two teams I could care less about.

Mystical-Prophetic Hero, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a prolific author and holy man who marched in the 1960s with Civil Rights leaders, said when he walked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: “I felt my legs were praying.” #DrMartinLutherKingJr #CivilRights #Prayer

In times like these, we need to turn to our prophets and mystics. Wendell Berry is one of those for me -- visionary, agrarian wise man, poet, and prophet. #sustainability #contemplative #mystic “There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.” ― Wendell Berry

I don’t have to go far to find “thin places” of numinous natural beauty. My neighborhood river in Southern Connecticut after last night’s snowfall. #Connecticut

A gentle, numinous, and beautiful short film, featuring the poetry of David Whyte and a stunning modern reinterpretation of ancient Celtic music. I make sure to show it to my students every year. Thank you to @emergencemagazine.bsky.social #poetry #meditation youtu.be/XdOt_RqDC68?...
