Sunset/moonset. Many reasons to believe in possibility this morning.

Please register for the public launch of the Intercessor on Zoom on Wednesday 10-29-25. Join R. Diane Elliot and me in conversation. We'll talk about why I wrote the book, Jewish Renewal, mystical practices, building spiritual community in these times—and whatever you want! tinyurl.com/2868zsek

Just published "The Intercessor: My New Book Drops October 13!" It's a novel about creating spiritual community in challenging times, made of linked stories by people facing different dilemmas resolved in surprising ways. Read the backstory here. tinyurl.com/3pbbhbty

Shana Tovah, friends. May the good surprises, kindnesses, and beauty of the coming year overwhelm and cancel the hatred and cruelty. May we all know the sweetness of love and peace.

Today is the 10th anniversary of our arrival in Lamy. Our friend took this picture of Meli the other day, and it just about sums up how we feel about being here!

Tonight’s sunset. What can I say?

Please join me at an online event at 7 pm EDT on Sunday, 10 August, cosponsored by ALEPH and The Shalom Center. Arthur Waskow at 91 and I will offer new Torah on the necessity of love. A bit of an antidote, we hope, to the flood of hate.

True sign of New Mexico spring! This little cactus had babies and started booming again.

Sunsets are a specialty here in New Mexico, but this one looked so much like a flying saucer, it was extra-special. I hope you enjoy it too!

On the 100th anniversary of the great James Baldwin’s birth, I’m sharing my portrait of him as one of my angels of freedom. The painting and my essay honoring him appear in my book: arlenegoldbard.com/essays/books.... May his memory be a blessing for all who love freedom.

Just published "I Have Three Photographs of my Father." My new painting depicts my father, a riddle I will never decipher. Plus Ray Charles and Milt Jackson, "How Long Blues." tinyurl.com/4wncvah4

This has been such a challenging time. It’s hard to find breathing-space amidst the heartbreak of each day’s news. The afternoon light brought us a respite. I hope its glow warms you too.

The rising moon is so beautiful tonight, I thought I’d share with you.

Just published “AI: Who by Fire?” A surprising number of people say the’re ready to burn it all down. If there’s nothing left to lose, why not stop the nihilists and build it all up? tinyurl.com/4hubnp4f
