Yikes! Thanks for the correction. I see the ThΓ’y spelling all over the place, in addition to what you write -- which isn't easily find on my Mac keyboard. Not sure how to fix it.

In the Shadow of Two Teachers Over the winter holidays, I spent nearly two weeks at Magnolia Grove Monastery in rural northern Mississippi β€” about an hour south of Memphis, where Dr.

I hope you'll check out my latest post. The teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. King have much to offer us during these times.

110%. So why isn't the MF? It's a no-brainer. He doesn't give a shit about the paper or its mission, so why not sell it to someone who does --or is he afraid to piss off his "boss"? --Anyone?

One of the many reasons, but good observation: adolescent men influencing other adolescent men. :-(

ACTION: Call Senators to add amendment to DHS funding bill: NO accessing voter records- as in GA and attempts in Minneapolis. All part of attempt to steal the election. Call your senators!

Rude awakening be coming to the clan that George Bernard Shaw referred to as "Crosstians" their beliefs and actions ain't got nothing to do with Jesus or the core Social Gospel teachings of Christianity.

Agreed. -And, that's not going to happen until progressives & moderates do some "family counseling" (facilitated forums) to air our grievances, misperceptions & learn we share most of same end-goals. Until we get on same page & ScRiPt, there's no f'n way we'll coordinate messaging to get heard.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane β€œAlligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

The GOP did a version of this decades ago when its factions agreed to coordinate on messaging & have kicked our asses in Orwellian commn's since.
Using the formula George Lakoff GAVE us 20 years ago: 1) Simple frames tied to shared moral values; 2) Coordinated messaging; Repeat, repeat, repeat...

Progressives & moderates need "family counseling" & until then, the movement & country are f'd -Seriously! We need well-facilitated trial grassroots sessions where members of both factions air their resentments, misconceptions & learn we agree on most goals. Get it toGETHER, on same page & ScRiPt!

So do you think the left can ever get on the same f'n page? -Not until we do some "family counseling." Start grassroots facilitated discussions b/t "progressives & moderates": Air the resentments, misconceptions & learn we have many same endgoals. Get it toGETHER People & on the same page & ScRiPt!

AI: "...about reincarnation, specifically the idea of continuous learning and evolving consciousness through multiple lifetimes...Follows Jonathan's pursuit of perfection in flight, which can be interpreted as a metaphorical journey of spiritual growth... through successive incarnations."

Interesting that I don't see one comment on the primary thesis: reincarnation. As I recall it. It's what got me to believe in it: that like is a school & if we learn the lessons of a given grade we move to the higher level. Don't learn; forced to repeat the same hard lessons until we do.
