Glowing pinks and yellows near dusk in Southern Connecticut. As my wife said to me, New England is a 10/10 in the fall. #autumn

You know it’s a great fall storm when a giant barge washes up on a beach near your home.

"An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, & who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law."

I heard Ram Dass quote this statement from James Douglass in a talk recorded in 1983. #nonviolence

Today’s protest movements have a great deal to learn from past wisdom figures.

Saw this sign the other day while listening to that very song.

Yes. Stuff like this, I love. Diaclaimer. These are not mine

Let’s be clear. We should not put the modifier “political” in front of the word violence. The true visionaries know all violence is a dead end. #nonviolence

Was anyone else driving home today, listening to their all-time favorite #Phish show(11/17/97)for the first time in like a decade, listening to one of their favorite songs from that show, and seeing this sign on the side of the road while listening to that song? I love moments of cosmic convergence!
