there's always Beauty…goodness….softness,  small and large reprieves.   Always.  every day.

and there's also…..how it is….now.  and I keep thinking about her,  AOC ,  Congresswoman  Ocasio-Cortez.   How she first must have  said those words I posted yesterday  to her self…and at some point,  when she came to know them as her Truth,  began to say them aloud to Us….the people she serves.   I think of her waking mornings wherever she sleeps,  readying her self and going off into those halls of Congress  walking among them,  those of meanspirit,  some dangerous,   how she will be  the one who  "live(s) 

faithfully in dark times" as Margery says,    after I and Elizabeth Warren are gone,   will go with Alyssia and Emrie

what does it feel like for her as she faces into January, 2025?   How it is.   that the election is over,  but we have yet to begin what that means.   How at this point it's almost  kind of like a TV show….we know all the names of the players,  the set where it will take place,  or,   sets….those halls of Democracy and the streets of our lives           and she …..she …..what?   she  is ready.    as much as anyone can be.   What's it like,   to be her?    What's it like to be me?,   what's MY place in it all?    I need to know so I can "live faithfully".

thank you,  Margery.   Thank you for the words   "live faithfully in dark times"      they fortify me

    Having similar thoughts and feelings… trying to be guided by kindness and love. And not getting caught up in the outrage. Looking for whatever small ways I can make a difference. And noticing those moments like the sun through Jack’s beard… Always…

    yes. there’s no point in outrage. it does not serve. Deep caring, Deep engagement can serve. I look there and find balance
    and in moments like that…the SUN in his beard
    in solidarity with you, love,
