Each day I hear someone ask the question “what is the stepping off point for the Republican Party?” How long will they look the other way as Trump lies, violates the rule of law and ignores the constitution? How do they continue while evidence of collusion by our president looms in the public’s collective view? … Continue reading Collusion & The Rise of ChristiaNationalist Morality
Progressive Regression – Lies We Tell Ourselves About The Lies We Told Others
The first day Wikileaks appeared (to me), I researched Assange. He ran for congress in 2013 in the Australian preferential system. A system where all votes are counted. A party recommends to its constituency who their second choice should be - and the voters often, even usually follow suit. Assange selected Australia First. Australia First … Continue reading Progressive Regression – Lies We Tell Ourselves About The Lies We Told Others
Black History Month, Racism & Privilege – An Unauthorized White Perspective
Privilege and Racism; not surprisingly, topics that aren’t very popular among a large segment of white people. I’ve been told a time or two that I wear this topic out.

Someone riding with me in my car yesterday posed a rhetorical question. I'm glad it was rhetorical, though disappointed it was asked with the conspicuous disdain so many carry for the people in their own communities with mental health problems - or in the late stages of drug and alcohol addiction, and the distinguishable toll it places … Continue reading Other Plans
Setting Intention in The Setting Sun of Solstice
Summer Solstice arrived again. I sat there stalled… knowing it really was time to clear. Time to recognize my intention and see what I had set it upon. We often think of setting intention without looking at where we left it last ... or how far from there it drifted when at long last left … Continue reading Setting Intention in The Setting Sun of Solstice
