This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Monk’s group dynamic was harmonic simplicity. Kenny Wheeler composed like that also. Is that a fair comparison?
I have Wheeler’s ‘For Tracy’ in mind.

The photo shows a vinyl record album cover displayed on a wooden stand. The album is "Groovy" by the Red Garland Trio, featuring Paul Chambers and Art Taylor, released on Prestige 7113. The cover features a black-and-white image of a brick wall and a dark doorway with the album title and artist information written in chalk-style letters. The background includes a rustic brick wall, ceramic items to the left, a green decorative glass object, and a handwritten sign in a clear display case on the right. An audio cable is visible on the wooden table surface.

Since nature only bends to what embraces her.. .
what enters her softly becomes part of her rhythm—
and what moves within her rhythm
remakes the world.

Dem Rep. Al Green stated: “I must vote to impeach a president who would put the lives of members of Congress at risk … who doesn’t respect the Constitution … who is devolving our democracy into a dictatorship. [Trump] must be impeached. He must be convicted. He must be removed.”

The sun coming up over the Thompson River, in the Interior of British Columbia. The sky is blue with a few clouds, and there are dark mountains and trees in the distance. There’s a mirror image reflecting on the water.

The close-up shows a flowering Lewisia longipetala. In the foreground, a single star-shaped flower with orange-pink petals and yellow stamens in the centre is sharply focused. Blurred, similar flowers and buds in various shades of pink and orange are visible in the background and at the edges of the image.

"A hollow melancholy enveloped her with an unmerciful darkness she could not escape."

I loved Tove Ditlevsen's bleak but powerful THE TROUBLE WITH HAPPINESS; intense short stories that explore love, marriage, family, & mental illness.

I snapped this one at sunset tonight from Figueroa Mountain Road in Santa Barbara County looking towards the Gaviota Coast. The distance between me and the boat is shockingly well over 30 miles! #Photography
