The sky rains, the wind shifts,
plans unravel, voices clash.
The monks walk, calm in each step,
watching what cannot be changed.
They do not fight the tide,
nor clutch what slips away.

So Bobby Weir and David Bowie share the same death date. #bobweir #gratefuldead

Bob Weir died and I am not okay. Shocked. #gratefuldead

David Bowie would have been 79 years old today. The world hasn’t been the same since he left us.

Not going to lie, when I saw the Maduro photo - all I thought was Estes Method. Since I finished a rewatch of Hellier last evening. #news #hellier

This Full Moon sure is locked and loaded. It’s a total Matrix blue pill red pill type of moon.

One year ago, January lasted for months. It’s the 3rd and already feels like a week.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.
