Caught the double rainbow on my way to see Chicago the musical last night. I was the passenger and the pic is through the windshield. I can‘t begin to describe how brilliant the colors of the first one was. I had never seen one that bright before. Nature inspires hope
Today is St.David‘s Day in Wales,a day of traditional celebration. This Welch song was first preserved orally (music) . In 1784 it was written down in sheet music & in the last half of the 19th c. Lyrics were added by J.Hughes. It‘s hauntingly beautiful, transcends time as all parents of all specious watch their children thru the night to keep them safe. https://web.archive.org/web/20110727053819/https://www.madog.org/dysgwyr/caneuon...
pickI have so much I want to say about this, but I‘m alternating between rage and grief, so I‘ll settle for this. Part memoir, part history, part journalistic reporting on current events, this is a concise damnation of Western imperialism, particularly the pervasive Islamophobia and unwavering support for genocide. If it doesn‘t make you mad, you aren‘t paying attention. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
This morning‘s piece is from an album,The Blue Notebooks, by Max Richter, of protest against the invasion of Iraq, a “meditation in violence” & at the general “ futility” of war. #resistance

pickI wonder if this novel would have hit me quite like it did if I'd read it before January 20, 2025. Because right now it feels practically prophetic. But in addition to being prophetic, it's also a beautiful story of persevering through hardship and maintaining integrity (defined in this case as acting in alignment with one's core values) in a world geared towards profit and self-interest at all costs. #tob25 longlist
