"All struggles
Are essentially
power struggles.
Who will rule,
Who will lead,
Who will define,
refine,
confine,
design,
Who will dominate.
All struggles.
Are essentially power struggles,
And most are no more intellectual
than two rams
knocking their heads together."

"Do you ever marvel at the arbitrary places people plant their flags?
Blind to all the way in which their actions violate their moral claims.
Well, I for one am tired of complying while the algorithm hacks our brains."

"No one gets out alive.
Every day is do or die.
The one thing you leave behind is:
How did you love?
It's not what you believe.
Those prayers will make you bleed.
But while you're on your knees,
How did you love?"

I can't get a good picture, but I think there is a tree FULL of robins in my yard. I can't decide if this is a sign of early spring or confused birds due to environmental crisis or maybe it's a different kind of bird.
I just know I never see robins (here in western NY state) until March!
