Peace maker…

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

A Gift of Peace

Ten years on, Muhammad Ali still speaks—through a painting of the United Nations headquarters he once created.

Everyday, as I pass by it, I am reminded that peace is forged by those who refuse to accept violence as the final word.

Yesterday reading Glück’s Wild Iris in a cedar grove in Monkton drizzle around a softwood campfire w/ a dozen+ teachers, & today, @bloodsigns’ Emily Dickinson poem adds gorgeous reverb, another beveled-edgy mirror.

@pswordwoman One’s daily dollop of programmed sociolinguistic power dynamics takes me right back to Hal and Dave in 2001. https://t.co/wt5Oqc9FUZ

@ChrisBohjalian Just drove past Camel’s Hump thru Hinesburg and Huntington and the myriad springtime greens are exquisite.

@biancastone Holy Wow! What a confession and a mirror… it makes me long for the Pitkin-fueled days of Goddard and a full campus of self-initiators (facilitated & empowered) learning how to turn life and literature into art and wisdom through lived experience…

@edwereddie @JoyceCarolOates Yes on every living citizen…dead ones too. 😉

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

We have more income and wealth inequality in America than ever before.

Meanwhile, we rank 34th in the world in childhood poverty, 20% of our seniors live on $15,000 a year or less and 800,000 Americans are homeless.

We need a fundamental change in our national priorities NOW.

“Meditate, you know; take drugs, if that helps; do psychotherapy; watch your dreams; find out who you are. That’s the only possible way you’re going to be able to both successfully make a living and save your soul.”
