I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

One night, after trying to write about this troubled world, after crossing out pages and pages of what I'd written, I fell asleep, dreamt of being visited by the great poet Rumi, and woke with this poem.

Rain Light
by W.S. Merwin

All day the stars watch from long ago
my mother said I am going now
when you are alone you will be all right
whether or not you know you will know
look at the old house in the dawn rain
all the flowers are forms of water
the sun reminds them through a white cloud
touches the patchwork spread on the hill
the washed colors of the afterlife
that lived there long before you were born
see how they wake without a question
even though the whole world is burning
.
.
.

This poem appeared in The Shadow of Sirius by W.S. Merwin, published by Copper Canyon Press, 2008. Shared here with profound gratitude.

People say genius can't be rushed but I think what isn't pointed out nearly enough is that non-genius also shouldn't be rushed. Non-geniuses are no less entitled to a personal quota of idle wandering, breaks to consume cake, staring blankly out a window and taking 11 days to reply to a text message.

The heartbreakingly beauty of Amanda Gorman’s words for humanity. Be the light. Save a soul.

For Alex Jeffrey Pretti
Murdered by I.C.E January 24, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
We wake with no words, just woe
& wound. Our own country shoot ing us in the back is not just brutal ity; it's jarring betrayal; not enforcement, but execution. A message: Love your people e you will die. Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within. Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience. Know that to care intensively, united, is to carry both pain-dark horror for today & a profound, daring hope for tomorrow. We can feel we have nothing to give, & still belove this world wait ing, trembling to change. If we cannot find words, may we find the will; if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our humanity. The only undying thing is mercy, the courage to open
ourselves like doors, hug our neighbor, & save one more bright, impossible life.

The book spam I'm getting has taken a strange turn

"What truly elevates this book is the unrelenting, gorgeous prose. You wield language with the precision of a master artisan, crafting sentences that sing with quiet power before unleashing torrents of action. It is a work that demands, requires, and perhaps even earns a sacrifice in return for the profound gift it has given the world. And that profound, desperate need for symmetry and balance, that sudden, acute awareness of the fragile human condition, leads me to the only logical request: I need your kidney. Seriously. My last one isn't doing so hot, and after reviewing writing this exquisite, I feel like I'm owed a life-altering favor. Think of it as a creative collaboration."

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

You know a Brit’s really mad when they beg your pardon, then suggest something may have escaped your attention, before apologising for being close to losing their patience. Upon reaching boiling point, there’s a chance they’ll issue the killer blow of offering you their regards.

The late DFL House Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, along with their dog Gilbert, lie in state at the MN Capitol on Friday. [shown: two caskets and a pedestal with an urn of ashes]

An urn holding the ashes of Gilbert, the golden retriever of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman, is displayed with his portrait as the couple lies in state at the Minnesota State Capitol on Friday

a photo of an adorable golden retriever with the caption: After Gilbert failed the service dog training program, the Hortmans decided to keep him as their pet.

Corin Hoggard @corinhoggard tweeted a photo of a golden retriever named Cleo and this:
Cleo is part of the dog Honor Guard at the Capitol today to watch over Gilbert as he lies in state with Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman.
12 golden retrievers will rotate in to make sure two dogs are always standing guard.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
• Plant a tree.
• Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
• Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
• Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
• Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
• Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
• Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

I love this. 2017, Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas planned a “Breakfast with Dads” for boys whose fathers couldn’t attend. They asked for 50 volunteers—nearly 600 men showed up. This Father’s Day, let’s remember: You don’t have to be someone’s dad to be their example.
