    We don't find peace by avoiding our emotional or even physical pain. Such pain is the cost of having this human body. Maybe peace is found when we refuse to wage war against our experience. We choose instead to receive them as they are, with a kind and gentle heart.

    So I stand by my endorsement of for Prez and for Veep (the dream team America needs 🇺🇸)but I’m taking it off my profile. There’s a •real• race going down, and I have a very strong preference.

    We took Adam Smith’s oeuvre, kept “Wealth of Nations”, scrapped “Theory of Moral Sentiments”, and filled that vacuum with the dregs of the thought of Ayn Rand, Herbert Spencer, Frederick Taylor and Edward Bernays. And called that a wise, just & sane economic system.

    They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. - F. Scott Fitzgerald

    Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives... I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. - John Lennon

    The normalcy currently experienced in the day to day lives of a small percentage of the world's population is an illusion & it is stolen.The least that can be done is use to this time to nourish the fabric of community, find the cultural blind spots & acknowledge the damage done.
