Blessed boredom!

[Joy Marie Clarkson @joynessthebrave]

As a teen, I had no iPhone, no social media. I spent hours listening to music, reading, learning how to play my favourite songs, thinking about God, staring at the ceiling feeling existential. It was the making of me.
I pity a generation deprived of that blessed boredom.

A prisoner will be electrocuted tomorrow night in Nashville in spite of pleas of commutation to life from the jury who convicted him, a victim's family, & the former warden & prison officials.The Governor & State Supreme Court refuse to intervene. A shameful day for our state.

To all the women this country for whom the Kavanaugh hearing is not political but historical, I grieve for the pain with which you have lived, and pray that this week, true justice will find its way home.

Lay down the burden of hiding and pretending, which normally takes up such a dreadful amount of human energy. Engage and [be} engaged by others in the most profound depths of the soul. (Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart)

This from @HuffPost from #ArethaFranklin family:

"In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our heart. We have lost the matriarch and rock of our family.”

At the end of a long day, what are you grateful for? How will you rest? Who will you love?
