So much has changed since COVID came to us, so much, in so many ways, so many ways, yet the challenge, the tragedy, maybe more fundamental. How many people infected, millions upon millions upon millions more. So many millions we really can’t comprehend. And the deaths, in this American country alone, three hundred and fifty …

Navalny
Democracy is for all humanity, at least it should be, in my humble opinion. One country in which democracy has long struggled is Russia. One voice that resonates from within? Alexei Anatoliovich Navalny. He has become maybe the most powerful voice calling for an end to corruption and more transparency in the Russian political system, …
Skinned Knees: Hope Is A Salve
Skinned knees. Remember them before? Maybe recently? Even if it’s been a while since you physically fell to the ground...maybe you’ve had a series of fails at work - it’s sort of the same.

Ah, Glorious Slumber!

I came across these two posts from one of my more favorite voices on social media. …

Fundamental to most faiths, the worship therein, we’re meant to come together, have a sense of the come together, can’t be together in-person just now. Screens and social …
