“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

You mustn’t wish for another life. You mustn’t want to be somebody else. What you must do is this: "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks." I am not all the way capable of so much. But those are the right instructions. – Wendell Berry

Novelist, poet, essayist, environmental activist, cultural critic, & farmer Wendell Berry ||| August 5, 1934 – August 31, 2026 | Kentucky RIP

Rest in the peace of wild things, Wendell. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything, every word. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/u...

The End of An Era – on #authors / #writers, #books, #publishing, #AI. hughhowey.com/the-end-of-a... by @hughhowey.com

A generation is passing away who were last to remember life before electricity. We will be last to know the world before AI.

Older members of my father's #generation can remember before #electricity was commonplace. My generation can remember before there was #Internet ( a network of various networks all inter-networked ). All of us are in a position to remember before there was #AI. ¿ Next ! ?

in every adult there lurks a child – an eternal #child, something that is always becoming, is never complete, & calls for unceasing #care, #attention, & #education. – C G Jung Once you reconnect with your own, you can look deeply & see how well others are taking care of their own. #healing.

You are not expected to complete the work. Nor are you allowed to desist. ~ Rabbi Tarfon #tikkun #repair #restorepeace #justice

‘"When we have the feeling that we are not accepted, that we belong nowhere and have no identity, this is when we have a chance to break through to find our true home" ~ Thich Nhat Hanh #marginalization, #bipoc, #disability, #neurodiversity, #autism, #intersectionality plumvillage.org

“The moon and sun are eternal travelers. Even the years wander on. A lifetime adrift in a boat or in old age leading a tired horse into the years, every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.” Matsuo Bashō [Tr. Sam Hamill]
