Trump recruited by the KGB several decades ago? It would explain a lot. Thoughts?

The natural world is the best balm these days.

School Vacation!!! I pray I spend time resisting rather than falling down the abyss of despair.

Dystopia.

Just finished Jasmyn Ward’s latest book, Let Us Descend. Just as evocative and beautifully written as her others. The evil injustice of slavery versus a young slave determined to survive and live her own life. Filled with the natural world. I ache.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today’s pants. When the world goes kaphlooey, wear tin man’s pants…

Closing JoAnns fabric store in Nashua? What’s the world coming to? Trump must be behind this!!!

Just got back from the HB283 hearing about cutting the state curriculum. After the sponsor of the bill spoke, giving a specious rationale, virtually everybody who spoke opposed the bill!

Forlorn about all the nastiness, the dismantling, the transgressions, the selfishness and negativity. Now NH is trying to pass a bill that would cut significant portions of the curriculum including education about genocide, slavery and more. This morning’s snow was beautiful and captivating. O

Hello, I took down all the Christmas decorations, in case you’re wondering. Not only are national politics devastating, now the NH GOP is trying to drastically cut the state curriculum, HB 283. Where’s a progressive Democrat supposed to go?

This is at Great Meadow in Concord, MA where there’s one of our favorite meditation spots seen in winter and summer. We’re sitting on a bench and shedding the cares of the world, at least for a short moment.

Greetings all, is there a way to block a stranger from following you? I get concerned when people I don’t know follow me. How do you all feel about this?

I meditated on compassion and gratitude this morning and reflected on the heroic brilliance of MLK jr., yet thoughts of the inauguration and executive orders kept interfering. May we resist, obstruct and collaborate in order to make the fulfillment of their agenda fail. We shall overcome.

McCoy at Christmas. Looking fine!

The end of another weekend, Saturday made me happy because of snow, dinner with friends and a jazz concert with Miguel Zénon. Today was a nice puttering day, dinner with other dear friends and leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Life can be simple, but sweet. What are you all reading these days?

A quiet night, a good time to walk away from FB and quietly launch a little post to say “I’m here!” Nothing but blue skies from now on.
