The Peace of Wild Things Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. from Openings: Poems (1968)
My dad used to tell my siblings and me that his favorite sound was silence. I get it now. In the midst of the chaos, in the midst of the turmoil of life in this world and in this head, I sometimes need to remind myself to actively seek silence, and the sounds it lets in.
Ted Lieu to Kristi Noem: “I just showed you a video with ICE officers at a school drop-off location — your refusal to commit to stopping these operations at or near schools & drop-off locations is why you're failing — so I'm going to show you this video that encapsulates why you're failing”
Imteresting that politicians or their partners are being investigated and even arrested because of alleged spying links to Russia and China. And yet Israel has actively corrupted more politicians paying bribes to them pretty much openly to do their bidding amd yet thats allowed.
I'm where I've always been fading into the background becoming scenery among vanishing pines and withering ferns nearly invisible you can't see me or is it that you won't? am I important enough to be noticed maybe even saved from this dullery? somehow it seems I deserve the darkness I've lived in it forever trying to dig my way out for a tiny chance to blossom and see the world in color give me your hand and we'll brighten this place together

Every fossil discovery starts with someone paying attention to the little details in the rock.
Kathleen Jamie Lochan (For Jean Johnstone) When all this is over I mean to travel north, by the high drove roads and cart tracks probably in June, with the gentle dog-roses flourishing beside me. I mean to find among the thousands scattered in that land a certain quiet lochan, where water lilies rise like small fat moons, and tied among the reeds, underneath a rowan, a white boat waits.
When all this is over I mean
to travel north, by the high
drove roads and cart tracks
probably in June,
with the gentle dog-roses
flourishing beside me…
—Kathleen Jamie, “Lochan”

1,100 Iranian civilians killed by America, Israel, and Saudi Arabia in the last three days.
That’s a strange way to ‘liberate’ people.
Ancient views on Meteorites: Meteoritic artifacts appear as early as the dawn of Egypt’s Early Dynastic Period, approximately 4,500 years ago. It was reported that beads in northern Egypt had very high concentrations of nickel, typical of meteoritic iron. popular-archaeology.com/article/expl...

Bwah ha ha!
Pay attention to the verbs. Pay attention to who gets named. Pay attention to who “says” and who “did.”
That’s how perception is shaped - not with blatant lies, but with careful framing.
Drivers: Drivers are extremely safe and law-abiding at all times even though the speed limit is far too low and they could be trusted to travel at the speed of sound, especially at night.
Also drivers: You were riding a BIKE? On a ROAD? Are you trying to make me KILL you?
