@msnbc.com I am outraged that you fired Matt Dowd for his remarks yesterday! Are you silencing people now for having an opinion that goes against those in power? Are you scared of strong-arm tactics by the administration? I abhor violence in any form, but sometimes it’s okay to call a duck a duck.

In a world of noise, confusion and conflict, it is necessary that there is a place of inner silence and peace; not the peace of mere relaxation but the peace of inner clarity and love.

When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud

Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm….

Not sure how widespread this is, but sharing anyway. I will do this - already ordering 90% less from Amazon and taking the time to give my business to mom and pops/brick and mortar/Etsy, etc..One day should not be hard for any of us.

at the shrine of everywhere,
want to know every inch

every walk, a pilgrimage.
Every step, a step
