Just... wow .. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment...
...do not fund programs that fail to achieve adequate outcomes, including so-called “harm reduction” or “safe consumption” efforts...

Instead of Depression... try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don’t even dream. It’s okay if you can’t imagine Spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave.

Think of Others by Mahmoud Darwish Think of Others   As you prepare your breakfast, think of others  (do not forget the pigeon's food).   As you conduct your wars, think of others  (do not forget those who seek peace).   As you pay your water bill, think of others  (those who are nursed by clouds).   As you return home, to your home, think of others  (do not forget the people of the camps).   As you sleep and count the stars, think of others  (those who have nowhere to sleep).   As you liberate yourself in metaphor, think of others  (those who have lost the right to speak).   As you think of others far away, think of yourself  (say: "If only I were a candle in the dark").  (Translated by Mohammed Shaheen)

Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness. © 2008 by Mary Oliver From her 2008 collection, Red Bird, p. 46 Published by Beacon Press 2008
