Why we sing — Outside/In
We sing along at concerts. We chant at protests. We belt it out at birthday parties. Why do humans sing together?

Remembering my dad, Franklin Dalton Aldrich, MD and PhD, almost certainly on the autism spectrum, who was born on this day in 1929. Our relationship was complicated, but I knew that he loved me, and he often told me that there was nothing I couldn't do if I set my mind to i.

I'll be taking a li'l break from social media for a few days. Not giving the algorithms a thing to play with. You might see me on #Ravelry.

I wonder if I should believe that Hugh Jackman is actually following me? Does @bsky.app have a verification system like that other site?

It occurred to me this morning that we are now 1/4 into this century. It still feels like we barely started using "20" as the first two digits for the year.

From Rosenwald Book of Hours, Library of Congress: St Mark the Evangelist, executing a ill-advised maneuver with what seems like a clogged pen. Lion on left is presumably anticipating ink rushing out and splatting all over Evangelist's face.

Gratitude: when the plow guy comes and you have time to run out, clear off your car, and move it out of the way so he can clear your parking space, too.

Let sadness come and go like passing clouds in the sky of your consciousness, but make sure to extend a warm invitation to joy as well, allowing both emotions to coexist naturally in your heart, each teaching valuable lessons about the full spectrum of human experience, leading to fulfilment.

Working to be a force of light can be very challenging in dark times. We need to build our real life, in-person communities. Cultivate loving, shining peace warriors by gathering in friend groups, singing in a chorus, playing pickleball- whatever it takes to build a network of caring.
