What a beautiful poem!
My neighbor Stuart sent me a picture from this week's New Yorker. Nothing gold can stay.

From John F. Kennedy’s remarks at Amherst College on Oct 26, 1963, this quote is one I return to time & time again, drawing strength & solace in the power of poetry to unite us. Now more than ever, it serves us to see the poetry, the extraordinary, in our ordinary lives.

Same!
I feel so depressed about Twitter. A decade of my life is here, and I hesitate to leave it all behind, because there is beauty and beauty makes life easier. But now that Twitter is just an ugly Trump propaganda machine, I will only be reposting until I vanish.

I keep thinking about @KamalaHarris' closing speech in front of Fredrick Douglas Hall at Howard University, how she echoed centuries of our fight to cultivate the truth & integrity that democracy promises. We must fill the night sky with all our light—the light of infinite stars.

Do you support the #FreedomToRead? Because books are on the ballot in 2024. States across the country have already passed laws to make it easier to ban books. And the conservative blueprint #Project2025 would do that on the national level—censoring what can be taught in schools.
