I miss when the news was a thing you caught up on instead of a thing you had to emotionally recover from.

"You need your own reasons to keep going. Amidst ceaseless threats to life and concrete loss of liberty, what motivates me is not the pursuit of happiness. It’s the off-chance I’ll learn something new."
"The sun blazes down on my tombstone hat. I found the hat in a gas station on a shelf of discounted '250th anniversary of the USA' merchandise. My hat is black and boasts an epitaph: 'AMERICA: 1776-2026'. My hat was made in China." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p…

Halloween around the corner. Picture day at school. Just to never come home. And a nation looks on.

"A future peace can only truly exist if each person first...frees themselves from hatred...and transforms it into something else - perhaps, in the long run, into love, if that is not asking too much..." ~ Etty Hillesum

Today is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and the environment. He believed that all of us are called to be protectors.

“The many sorrows of our recent history suggest that we humans have a learning disability. We might have thought that the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust were enough to inoculate us against the toxins there revealed and unleashed. But our resistance quickly fades. A new generation gladly abandons its critical and skeptical faculties. Old slogans and hatreds are dusted off. What was only recently muttered guiltily is now offered as political axiom and agenda. There are renewed appeals to ethnocentrism, xenophobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, and territoriality. And with a sigh of relief we are apt to surrender to the will of the alpha, or long for an alpha we can surrender to.” — Carl Sagan

"Twenty-five years later, I'm reminded of that prayer of St. Francis and the resiliency of the American people. So much has changed, much for the worse-but in that moment, we came together and saw it through. We kept each other, may we try again soon." ~ Luke Russert
