I will when Republicans start acting like morally grounded human beings, instead if self appointed feudal rulers. We are citizens just like you. Remember it!

GOP congressman Roger Williams demands that society ignore our constitution rights to protest unlawful actions of both law enforcement and government for the sake of civility.

The Mirror of Our Own Projections
oil on paper

…for in the lifelong project of understanding ourselves, we are all reluctant visitors to the dusky and desolate haunts of our own nature - MARIA POPOVA

Story-ALTtext⬇️
An abstracted landscape suggesting sunrise or sunset over water The quote continues: “where shadows we do not want to meet dwell. But in any human association that has earned the right use the word love, we must be in relationship with both the light and the shadow in ourselves and each other. All authentic relationship is therefore a matter of clear sight — of seeing through the shining pane of the other’s self-concealment and removing the mirror of our own projections” How to see others in a world of projection and shadow, self-concealment and desolate haunts - is there a manual for that? I admit to struggling with this in recent days. My own humanity feels under attack. It becomes easier to be angry and reactive rather than contemplative and compassionate. A big sigh. A deep breath. A pause. And so we have come to the time of relationship with shadow. The shadow parts of ourselves growing monstrous as the light of the world dims, distorting our reflections. The elongated shadows of others make perceptions skewed. It is a funhouse out there, and therefore in here a bit, too. Thank goodness for you, reading this. For art, for books, for singing and for love. Sending big hugs to anyone who needs them. Thank you for being here. xo

Just over the moon. Fenced off leash park is mushy in winter rains. Nearby off leash is open with a busy street

Been voice training Chloé for off leash and tried the nearby park

Estatic as she played with joy, when happy she becomes semi-rabit with a hop run

Always remembers to check in with me.♥️

"El silencio se está convirtiendo en un artículo de lujo." ~ Paul Virilio (Filósofo de la velocidad y tecnología). Un choque de realidades: la mano que busca refugio en el cristal negro frente al gigante que impone un silencio eterno. Somos náufragos de la conexión, ignorando que la vida nos observa desde el muro, pidiendo un respiro entre tanto ruido digital. El dedo sobre los labios es un acto de rebeldía en la era de la sobreexposición. Mientras la pantalla consume nuestra atención, la sombra y el gesto nos recuerdan que la verdadera esencia no se publica; se guarda en el mudo refugio del presente.

What is it with all of the BlueSky hookers, call girls, or whatever one calls them?

I am getting inundated and don't know why or what to do..

They could actually read some of my posts to gather relevant information, like which ballpark I play in.

This is both sad and annoying

Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

Okanogan County, Washington, July 2013. Looking across Aeneas Valley towards Forest Service land on the mountains. The 2015 North Star Fire burned a huge area just beyond this viewscape.
