โIt is easy for me to imagine that the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines.โ --Wendell Berry
@JimMusilPainter Jim, my sister lives very close to Pacific Beach (law street beach, technically), and I thought this was a photo she sent me from her street. You captured it well!
Fear, indifference, and the violence of those who trade in human life must not have the final word. The final word belongs to Christ, who identifies with the stranger, touches the wounds of humanity, and calls us to recognize Him in every brother and sister who needs to be welcomed, protected, supported, and integrated. Let us lift our gaze to Him, without turning away from those who suffer. Let us look to the Lord to learn to see our brothers and sisters through His eyes.
โHuman dignity does not depend on a personโs abilities, wealth or position in life, nor on the right or wrong choices made; instead, it is a gift that precedes and transcends each person, endowed by God as an expression of his unfailing love.โ
โPope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas
Bless God for paved trails for the kiddo in a wheelchair, snow melt in Clear Creek, the scent of conifers baking in the sun, and a good man to enjoy it all with.

My 7 year old made her teacher a card for the last day of school. โ ๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธ
(Her teacher is alive but probably so exhausted. I do wish her peace from a class of 7 year olds.)
