Longing is the core of mystery.
Longing itself brings the cure.
The only rule is, suffer the pain.
Rumi

A beautiful quote from one of my favorite authors, Louise Erdrich: Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning . You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.

"I died today.
I was found by a kind, sweet woman who does wildlife rescue.
I was so sick, I could barely open my eyes.
She took me inside, cradling me in her warm arms, and made me warm and comfortable.
I opened my eyes and looked at her and thanked her for making my last few minutes as comfortable as possible.
But I was too sick to keep fighting anymore.
I had eaten a mouse that was poisoned, and it made me very sick.
I closed my yellow eyes for the last time and went somewhere else.
Please, all I ask is never use poison to kill the mice.
Poison kills owls, like me.
All I wanted was a mouse for dinner.

Stop the use of poison for rats or mice.
Live traps are the best to use. Catch and release.
It only takes one share to spread the word."

I love words! HCR's feed just gave me a new, elegant one today that you may feel free to use in these inelegant times. Ailurophobic: an abnormal fear of cats. Feel free to use it at will in your discussions of J.D. Vance or other misogynistic public figures.

This quote from Dr. Heather Cox Richardson's letter today:

When President Joe Biden announced just a week ago that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president, he did not pass the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris.
He passed it to us.

I will post the entire letter, one of her BRST!....below.
