It’s 2 AM and I’m just here quietly admiring how the shadows of the leaves look against the wall. 🕯️🍃

There’s a special kind of peace in tending to your plants when the rest of the world is asleep. Anyone else part of the 'Late Night Plant Club'? 🦉🪴

Part 1/2 — HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028176.jpg
#epsteinweb #houseoversight028176
/ BARAK / 42 negotiations. The first stirrings of discontent had begun even before I went to see Clinton. On the basis of my commitment merely to ¢ry for peace, Arik Sharon had presented a no-confidence motion in the Knesset. It was never going to pass. But only days after I’d made him Interior Minister, Natan Sharansky let it be known he was going to vote against us. He didn’t. He stayed away from the chamber, in effect abstaining. But I’d been put on notice. I did lose my first coalition partner in September: the small United Torah Judaism party, with five Knesset seats. It wasn’t over land-for-peace. In an echo of a similar crisis that brought down the government during Rabin’s first spell as Prime Minister in the 1970s, it was over a violation of the Jewish Sabbath. It turned out that Israel’s state electric company had been transporting a huge steam- condensation machine from the manufacturing site near Haifa to a power plant in Ashdod. The unit was the size of a small apartment. It weighed 100 tons. It couldn’t be driven across the country without bringing weekday traffic to a standstill. The obvious solution was to do it when road use was lightest, on Shabbat. Precisely the same procedure had been followed — 24 times — under Bibi. But when I asked a United Torah Judaism leader why he’d seemed happy when Likud had waved it through, he replied: “Past sins cannot pardon future ones.” Eli Suissa, one of the Shas ministers in the cabinet, took his side, saying: “Every hour is good for the keeping of Shabbat.” Most other ministers agreed with me that we should stand firm. So I did. But UTJ walked out of the government. Shas did remain. But I was now increasingly certain that at some stage its ministers, too, would leave. In the midst of the Sharanksy rebellion, Haim Ramon, who was the minister in charge of liaising with the Knesset, insisted I “punish” him for his political grandstanding. “You should fire Sharansky. Act like a leader!” I just laughed.

Yet, watching monks simply walk brings them happiness. For me, the most impressive part of all this is that by simply walking, the monks plant a seed in everyone who sets eyes on them, forging a connection between thousands of people and the Buddha. The monks have achieved more by walking through America for two months than Tibetan lamas have achieved by teaching in the West for years. I told my friends as much and they think I am exaggerating. But am I? We pride ourselves on being objective, rational and pragmatic, yet all our rational thinking crumbles when we glimpse a monk walking in the snow and an inexplicable sense of profound peace floods our minds and hearts. It is this feeling of deep peace that so many of us lack. I am often asked, ‘How can I live meaningfully?’ ‘Meaning’ is not a feeling. ‘Meaning’ is not so-called happiness or fulfilment – happiness and fulfilment come and go. ‘Meaning’ cannot be found in strident opposition or activism, which does little more than fetter personal freedom. Those who shout about freedom often become fodder for the mighty corporations. We find meaning in life by taking responsibility and dedicating ourselves to accomplishing something ‘meaningful’. The monks decided simply to walk for peace. This decision matters so much to them that everything else is mere detail. ‘The meaning of life’ is therefore something that we construct for ourselves. The act of appeasement is worthy of celebration – not my version of peace, not your version of peace, just peace. I am glad that I am able to share this picture with you. If you momentarily feel what I feel, it’s worth it. In the coming year, the year of the Fire Horse, many future friends will be conceived and many others will be born. I pray that your generation will do a better job of caring for this world than we have. I pray that my young friends, those who have already been born into this world, will learn to be resilient. In this era of megalomania and obsession with selfies, I…

Title: Prayer for Church of England General Synod Monday 9th February 2026. Text content: "Almighty and compassionate God, who heals the broken-hearted and is near to those crushed in spirit: draw close to them in their pain; restore what has been wounded, give courage where there is fear, and plant hope where trust has been shaken. Let your justice guide the reshaping of what has failed, that dignity may be honoured and mercy and peace may take root; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." Visual description: The text is set against a soft background of abstract, pastel-colored shapes. In the bottom right corner is the Open Table Network logo, which features a circle of diverse figures in rainbow colors, with the words 'OPEN TABLE' printed clearly below them.

By day, scruffy highschooler Mel Ridges - by night, the hero Hydrofight! Whilst all it takes is a splash of water for her to adopt her combatitive cactus form, Mel is unaware that the origin of her power is the chemical spray her father employs in his greenhouses in service of the Green Thumb Mafia!
The image shows Melanie Ridges aka Hydrofight in three different forms. The first is her human form, a Korean-American girl wearing a yellow raincoat and a plaster on her nose. Beneath her coat is a long baggy shirt labelled 'STAY HYDRATED'. She's shooting the camera a wink and a peace sign. The second is her as Hydrofight - an anthropomorphic cactus superhero! As Hydrofight her skin turns green, she adopts a more muscular build, and gains spikes across her shoulders and on the back of her large clobbering hands. As part of her superhero outfit, she wears a pair of sunglasses, a white headband, and a yellow sports bra with a symbol of a water droplet on it. The last image is an even further empowered Hydrofight - larger and more muscular, with more plant-like features, including leaves for hair, and a whole bunch of vines sticking out her back! #OCSky #OCArt #OC #Art #Superhero #SuperheroOC

57 prisoners exchanged. Zero progress on what actually ends the war.

Abu Dhabi calls them "peace talks." Russia demands Ukraine leave Donetsk before real talks begin. Ukraine refuses. So the room does plumbing—hotlines, energy truces, nuclear plant discussions—while the house stays unbuilt.
Abu Dhabi: the scaffolding beneath peace—and the house nobody is building
Prisoners come home. The hard questions don’t even have a table yet.

A season of peace is the finest time to plant the seeds of war.

#DanceOfShadows by @gouravmohanty.bsky.social the next instalment in his #TheRaagOfRta series.

Check out these amazing illustrations by Jessica Prando

Out now: https://geni.us/DOSPBorgsoc
The image features the book "Dance of Shadows" by Gourav Mohanty. The cover has a red and black color scheme with elephant illustrations. Below the book, a quote reads: "A season of peace is the finest time to plant the seeds of war." A person stands playing a flute in a ceremonial setting, facing a large, glowing lion figure etched into the sky backdrop. The scene is surrounded by a standing army in formation with spears. Animals are depicted in the sky around the lion. A person with curly hair sits on the floor, surrounded by open books and scrolls. The setting appears to be a dimly lit library. The individual is wearing flowing garments and is focused on reading the book in front of them. An hourglass and ink bottle are nearby, adding to the scholarly atmosphere. This image depicts a warrior in ornate armor holding a sword over one shoulder. The attire includes a blue cloak and leather accessories. The background features a bright, glowing light with floating yellow particles.

See Alt text for context & translation. Image is the text, as well. So easy to get wrapped in this one…
Poet Charles Wright has a line that comes to mind when I hear this, too: “No wonder deep shade is what the soul longs for,
And not, as we always thought, the light."
The opera proper opens a love song sung by Xerxes to a tree. When Xerxes marched through Asia to invade Greece, he supposedly saw a magnificent tree by the roadside. Overwhelmed by its beauty, he decorated the tree with golden ornaments, and arranged that a man should be the keeper and guardian of that tree forever. (Recitativo) Frondi tenere e belle del mio platano amato per voi risplenda il fato. Toni, lampi, e procelle non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace, né giunga a profanarvi austro rapace. (Aria) Ombra mai fu di vegetabile, cara ed amabile, soave più. ENGLISH TRANSLATION: (Recitativo) Tender and beautiful fronds of my beloved plane tree, let Fate smile upon you. May thunder, lightning, and storms never disturb your dear peace, nor may you by blowing winds be profaned. (Aria) Never was a shade of any plant dearer and more lovely, or more sweet.
