Here's a look at the long heritage of multilingual government in the US: theconversation.com/making-engli...
Making English the official US language can’t erase the fact that the US has millions of Spanish speakers and a long multilingual history
Trump’s campaign produced campaign materials in Spanish to reach more voters. Now that he’s president, his White House is going English-only.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

May I be a guard
for those who need protection,
a guide for those on the path,
a boat, a raft, a bridge
for those who wish to cross the flood.
May I be a lamp in the darkness,
a resting place for the weary ….
until all beings are freed from sorrow
and all are awakened.

I love a floppy book. The pages stay where they are, no spines get cracked and it sits comfortably in your hand.
There, that’s my great insight shared for this week.
