I was today years older when I realized I could make a face on a cloud if I positioned myself the right way. Joyful opportunities unfurl before me! #clouds

Even children’s books are too scary for me. Spooky season is hard on cowards. I want to participate but even THIS is almost too much for me. Gentle spooky reading recommendations? #books #recommendations #halloween

Does anyone know in Tuesday's Rapture if these folks get lifted right out of their cars or if the vehicles ascend with them? This is my first Rapture and I'm trying to plan my commute.

Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position, it is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.

Each redemptive or loving act as small as you like, such as reading to your little boy or showing him a thing you love or singing him a song or putting on his shoes keeps the devil down in the hole. It says the world and its inhabitants have value and are worth defending. It says the world is worth believing in. In time we come to find that this is so.

—Nick Cave

A lot of people are learning that cowardice won’t save them in real time. Might as well be brave.
