PATIENCE
“The oak tree
loves patience,
the mountain is
still looking,
as it has for centuries,
for a word to say about
…
These things
you can count on
as you walk about the world
happy or sad,
talky or silent, making
weapons, love, poems.
The briefest of fires.”
~ Mary Oliver

“To see life as it is, the mind must be made pure:
everything that distorts must be quieted or removed.
When the mind is completely still, unstirred even in its depths,
we see straight through to the ground of our being, which is divine.”
~ Eknath Easwaran

To melt into the boundless whole,
And find itself again…

and you will never be asked to do a thing.”

The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall.
I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

“As swimmers dare
to lie face to the sky
and water bears them,
as hawks rest upon air
and air sustains them,
so would I learn to attain
freefall, and float
into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace,
knowing no effort earns
that all-surrounding grace.”
~ Denise Levertov

YOUR WORLD
“Your world is as big as you make it.
I know, for I used to abide
…
I battered the cordons around me
And cradled my wings on the breeze,
Then soared to the uttermost reaches
With rapture, with power, with ease!”
~ Georgia Douglas Johnson

In your conversations, don't confuse.
In your thoughts, don't wander. In your soul, don't be passive or aggressive. In your life, don't be all about business."

“… to live in this world
you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go…”
~ Mary Oliver

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court.
I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective.
Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court.
The lesson: When we fight we win.
#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using.
When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate
Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member.
I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day.
In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.
Trump will TACO.
He’ll never allow this to continue. He knows he will lose.
Question is, why does it take the BBC to call Trump out ?
Everyone in the U.S. knew exactly what Trump was doing, but nobody did anything.
Pathetic…

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

“Sometimes, it is easy to be generous outward,
to give and give and yet remain ungenerous to yourself.
You lose the balance of your soul if you do not learn to take care …
You need to be generous to yourself in order to receive the love that surrounds you.”
~ John O'Donohue
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves that we find in them.”
