Just before 7 p.m. tonight, the President of the United States declared he was granting a “full pardon” to Tina Peters, the Colorado election official convicted on charges involving tampering with voting machines. There’s just one problem: Tina Peters was convicted in state court, not federal. So has no authority to pardon her. But whenContinue reading “Time marches on”

Something for Everyone to consider……
Ernest Hemingway once said:When people talk listen completely. Don’t be thinking what you’re going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feelingContinue reading “Something for Everyone to consider……”
From the Heart ….
This post is not going to win me many friends, but here goes. We have a severe information problem right now. Not just propaganda in the common forms, but disparities in delivery and framing that change how we perceive the world for good or ill and impact our senses of justice, healing, and progress. TheContinue reading “From the Heart ….”

Growing old…oops up!
One month before her 95th birthday, Patricia Routledge wrote something that still gently echoes:* “I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes.Continue reading “Growing old…oops up!”
Apologies
I owe myself an apology—for having tolerated something I never deserved.I’ve spent a large part of my life trying to be kind,even when most people didn’t deserve it.I forgave too quickly.I understood too deeply.I gave second chances (and third, and fourth),because I believed in the goodness of others. But lately, I’ve realized how exhausting—and painful—itContinue reading “Apologies”

Words matter….
Instead of saying I know what it feels like”, let’s say “I cannot imagine your heartbreak”. Instead of saying, “You’re strong, you’ll get through this, let’s say ” You’ll hurt, and I’ll be here. Instead of saying, “You look like you’re doing well, Let’s say, “How are you holding up today?” Instead of saying, “HealingContinue reading “Words matter….”
