Heard something interesting at a retreat that I thought I should pass on: Happiness is an emotion. Joy is a state of being. Meaning that even if I am not happy in this moment, I can still choose to be in Joy.

Our MIC has had its snout deeply buried in the public money trough ever since WW II and has been lining its pockets rather than building up America. That’s why we are kept at war. That’s why we are kept frightened of some new threat to justify expending money […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

Another quote from the the Master, JRRT, that seems to be a message to all folk of good will in our time. It is so ordered that it is up to us to resolve this crisis. Or let the darkness overwhelm us. The choice is ours. “You have come and are here met, in […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

Again, JRRT knew: “‘What am I to do? What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!’ ‘Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

I think it is literally true that we create our own hell. I don’t for a moment believe in a cruel, vengeful God. But if there were such a thing I doubt he could do better than the hell we create for ourselves. Same with the Good News of the Kingdom. It’s not […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

JRRT knew. ‘Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.’ ‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

I’m rereading “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” after many years. She is over dramatic, and in a Victorian style that has not aged well. But the underlying story is powerful and surprising apropos for our time. Specifically all the excuses and justifications we make for not […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

Something to think about: It’s no longer about facts or even ethics or morality. Now it’s just about “what tribe do I belong to.” Rational or ethical argument is now irrelevant. God have mercy. We’re going up need it.

Absolutely correct. Unless we become the party of FDR once age, th clown show continues. And to do that we must fund a way to dump the control of the oligarchy. Not shire how do that. But politics as usual is NOT it.
