talks like these are like a multi-vitamin, or a shot of espresso to me.

dark times

"In a dark time, the eye begins to see."
Theodore Roethke

As pundits, experts and anchors dispute the good, the bad and the ugly, I guess this is what we can only hope. That through the dark times we might actually begin to see. That through economic collapse we might see the faults in what we'd built. That through media tainted public political opinion, we might see the truth of the people behind it all. That behind frightening possibilities, we might see the truth behind platforms and chose a future rather than a past.

or maybe we'll just remain as aimless as wild turkeys, beating their way through the underbrush...

pundits

"Wilderness holds an original presence giving expression to that which we lack, the losses we long to recover, the absences we seek to fill. Wilderness revives the memory of unity. Through its protection, we can find faith in our humanity."
Terry Tempest Williams, Red

The further into the political race we get, the more I feel the need to seek out the wilderness...

huh...

I don't remember the last time I was in an elevator...

food for my thoughts...
