Hi, I’m God.
My son fed 5,000 people for free. I guess that makes him a socialist.

when the moon was covered
and I roamed through wreckage,
a nimbus-clouded voice
directed me:
"Live in the layers,
not on the litter."

As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.
But there is no road through the woods.

crickets
the pleasant but irregular blowing of the wind
fireflies dancing in step with the light of the moon
how strange it is to become aware of another's heartbeat but forget one's own

Something to remember
"Where there was something and suddenly isn’t,
an absence shouts, celebrates, leaves a space.
I begin again with the smallest numbers.
Quick dance, shuffle of losses and leaves,
only the things I didn’t do
crackle after the blazing dies."
-from Burning the Old Year by Naomi Shihab Nye

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small.
Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture.
It will make Jimmy smile.
