As we were cleaning this weekend, Mr pulled this little gem off the shelf, published in 2017. “If a dissident movement is to acquire momentum, the democratic Left must also identify more young leaders in multiple settings who are charismatic in democratic ways and can inspire large constituencies.”

Here’s a photo. It’s more concentrated, but does brighten the whole space. (ignore the gray couch, it’s not usually in this picture, we are in the process of rearranging furniture—our weekend project.)

The delicious aroma of fresh baked pumpkin pie is making me impatient for dinner. The pie needs to rest. And! I have to roast a turkey. Pie is my very favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. My offering for Secular Pie Thursday.

Today I met a delightful artist named Charlie. When I asked if he’s local, he shared some of his meandering journey back and forth between the US, the Caribbean, and France. His art is whimsical and colorful. I chose an abstract piece because I adore dots.
