Have you got a little brook in your heart,
Where bashful flowers grow,
And blushing birds go down to drink,
And shadows tremble so?
And nobody knows, so still it flows,
That any brook is there,
And yet your little draught of life
Is daily drunken there.
(stanzas 2/4, continues)

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

The campaign to label art "too woke" or "too liberal" has dark historical echoes. In my op-ed, I draw the parallel to Nazi Germany's "Degenerate Art" exhibitions and the Soviet doctrine of "Socialist Realism." When a government dictates what art is acceptable, we are on a dangerous path.

The system feeds on your outrage. It can weaponize your anger and categorize your protest. But it can’t process humor. It can’t predict love. That’s why kindness and laughter are still the most radical acts left.
