"In a world pocked by cynicism and pummeled by devastating news, to find joy and hope for oneself and spark it in others, is nothing less than a countercultural act of courage and resistance." - René Magritte, The Marginalian

"Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
Here it's safe, here it's warm"
-- Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

The greatest part about getting older is learning to be kinder. Kinder to ourselves, kinder to each other, kinder with our thoughts. That thing our parents always told us, "if you don't have something nice to say..." it really starts to click.

Wishing a very special Mother’s Day to the moms who grew up without a mother—whether through absence, loss, or emotional distance. The love and nurturing you offer, in spite of—or perhaps because of—what you lacked, is a remarkable and powerful gift to the world.💜

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."- Henry David Thoreau

Our country appears to be in a truth crisis. Which leads to many other crises.
In this environment of mass misinformation how does one find truth?
