Viewing Earth from the perspective of a tiny fragile globe hurling through space humbles and inspires all at once - but makes flag waving and joining in difficult. And so from age 10 on things got difficult. I mean if you're paying attention, even just a little, how can you not be angry? But how also can you not be inspired and awed. And so I write.

Vote Lebowski 2020
I mean the Dude, abides.
Certainly no sillier than Trump.
And so much more easy going. And nicer.
Would be refreshing to focus on rugs that tie the room together instead of doing Putin’s bidding. Or making bowling our national sport instead of ignoring government sanctioned murder by dismemberment to gain the favor of an oil rich nation.
And sandals, mandatory wear for our leaders.
They need to put those dumb red ties away and stop taking themselves so seriously - no one else does. Not after Trump.
No, this aggression will not stand, man.
Vote for the Dude. Vote Lebowski, 2020

My Country
The president's credit is no good here. No US banks will loan him money.
19 women claiming sexual assault.
10,000 lies and counting.
Porn stars and playboy bunnies. Payoffs and lies. Checks written in the oval office - in the oval office.
$25 million to payoff students he attempted to deliberately defraud.
Children, babies separated from their families and discarded on concrete floors.
The vilification of desperately poor and frightened people willing to walk thousands of miles to a country that used to represent hope and refuge. 'Shithole' countries translates to poor countries of color - again so in need of our compassion and help.
Racism, hate and fear = make America Great Again.
Obstruction, lies, and childish behavior - all from a man with his little hands on some very large buttons.
My god what has happened to my country?

A New Age
We live in The Age of Greed. It began as we moved from cooperative,
nomadic clans to agriculture and first city states 7-10,000 years ago.
Ever more perverse, violent, and inexcusable as our technology grows, its onset saw the beginnings of class, narrow social constructs, selfishness, and justification for the suffering of the many for the 'privileged' few. The accumulation of things began to define as much as isolate us from each other in our pursuit of prestige, title, wealth, profit. In return we get more wealth, more titles, more things - but at the expense of meaningful life. It is a soulless, empty, hateful way to live.
If people could understand the truth of their reality through comprehension of this one picture - we could finally begin to usher in a new age. We are all part of an immensity we cannot really understand, except as it humbles. To know that humility, to let it strip away your meaningless constructs, is to know the fragility of life, the understanding that we are all in this together against immense odds - is to know love for all life. We are all one family of life.
The first ever photo of a super-massive black-hole – one of
billions as compared in size to our solar system.
