On Saturday, US army Maj Gen Charles Calvin Rogers’ Medal of Honor webpage led to a “404” error message. The URL was also changed, with the word “medal” changed to “deimedal”.

"When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself.”
So grateful to Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for actually understanding the Bible. 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

And, as another way to try to introduce myself here, these are two of my favorite photographic subjects: my beloved dog Santosha (whose name means “contentment”) and my breathtakingly beautiful Pacific Northwest rainforest home. 🌲💜🐶

As I begin to explore Bluesky, I thought that sharing the genius of the two guiding lights of my musical life, Ali Akbar Khan and Zakir Hussain, would be a good starting point. Here they are diving into “sangat,” where they improvise simultaneously with playful brilliance. Incredible! 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼
