“Ike thought one of the worst things you could give a man was a clipboard. He’d been at the mercy of men w/ clipboards. They could keep you out of a gated community or put you on a bus to prison. Give a man a clipboard & watch his true nature come out. S.A. Cosby in Razorblade Tears #Sundaysentence

Fun fact, this is one of my top 20 fave novels, I pull it down every few years. I see the gaps & cracks I didn't when I was 13; doesn't matter. Anyway, my #sundaysentence is a contemplation of emotional bumps in the road: "You'll never get anything done if you walk around with an unchipped heart."

Wasn't it? John Prine is among my top five singer songwriters and I'm not a CM person. But I don't think he necessarily was either. He was a good human being and that's what matters.

"Mortality might have been the wallpaper in the room , but aging was the furniture you had to maneuver around." Tom Piazza in Living in the Present with John Prine #sundaysentence (on Thursday) and follow up to my sentence from last Sunday from the same book. This one came along later.

OMG! I didn’t know the Duchess had a Bluesky account! After that memoir came out ( which was a top read of mine for whatever year it came out) , it seemed like she dropped away from Twitter. Or maybe I left first but I don’t think so. I may have to come on Bluesky more often

"I wanted, in this horrible moment, to remind people that what the far right is doing globally, I think, is largely backlash. A new world is being born, and they’re basically trying to abort it. Which is a little ironic, given their views on abortion.” Rebecca Solnit #SundaySentence (s)

(1/1) In all her life, Mary had never experienced such a joyful moment. The joy emerged from the uncertainty that had cloaked her life of hard and tedious work. The rainbow-like being held a sparkle that dazzled everything around it and Mary was captivated. "My heavens!" she exclaimed.

Hey, BonHo! I know I’m lucky. I do have a delightful and nonjudgmental family of origin. The family I created is too busy to see me much and that can be disappointing. I have friends that I hang out with but sometimes I just want to be 100% alone. Thanks for your encouragement.

This might simplify my life but it would likely not be very satisfying: ghost all the people I know ( including family).

March In March the wind blows down the door and spills my soup upon the floor. It laps it up and roars for more. Blowing once blowing twice blowing chicken soup with rice. #MauriceSendak #March

It's the open page of chidren's book by Maurice Sendak . On the left side are the words of the poem. On the right side is a comical illustration - an image to the wind blowing over the bowl of soup and the kid being annoyed.

Interesting post, Rob "The strongest long-term relationships she sees in her patients, she said, are marked by connection, negotiation, attunement: what the philosopher Alain de Botton describes as “what’s left after the flames of early love die down.”" What about if one is not a fan of cooking?
