02 A land where everyone is glad to be who they are, and to be doing what was theirs to do, seeing things as they are, knowing what needs to be done and doing it in each situation as it arises, day in and day out, all their life long is found only in theContinue reading “June 29, 2020”

The grounding reality of white supremacy is white inferiority. The grounding reality of hatred is a wasteland of emptiness born of resentment and rage. The grounding reality of ruthlessness and malicious intent is fear and aloneness untouched by, immune to, distrustful of, kindness and grace. You cannot love someone who cannot be loved. Or better,Continue reading “June 30, 2020”

02 History is always coming around. The times are always changing. Coming and going. For better or for worse. For better and for worse. Better for whom? Worse for whom? Only time will tell. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Time tells that much all the time. “The poor will beContinue reading “July 02, 2020”

If you make too much of it, you lose the whole point of it.” Robert Ruark missed the essence of his grandfather’s sutra, and failed, throughout his life, to apply theContinue reading “July 05, 2020”
