For some of us, our grief in this current season comes at least in part to the daily witness of a little boy constantly calling for the attention and affirmation that he’ll never receive.

May we radically embody the way of Jesus even as he fully becomes a mascot for fascism.
Let them have their Jesus
We can't relate to that fascist mascot

A text from an undocumented friend tonight,
“My friend, you have to be prepared for anything. You never know when it’ll be your turn. There’s a purpose for all of this.”
If I may be so bold I’ll say…
The word of the Lord.

A concise and poignant statement to read to our state senators for each of the issues would be very helpful right now.
Does anyone know a resource for such statements?

I know that you know.
I know that you see.
I know that you feel
& I know that you weep.
May I know the most frightened
tonight are being held,
& the lonely at their end
in the end will be well
Shape us now in your wisdom
ever ancient & new,
illuminate our knowing
and make it known that it’s you.

I’m reading Zinn’s “People’s History” for the first time while also gobbling up US history documentaries with a conservative slant.
Why don’t we teach children to hold severe complexity from a very early age? Why do we insist on living as naive dogmatic purists rather than wise caregiving seers?

“…the heroic projects of men are mostly overcompensations for a paralyzing fear of death, powerlessness, and diminishment. Until men move into death and live the creative tension of being both limited and limitless… they never find their true power.”
