An Antidote…
There’s Trump & Co.
And there’s Bishop Mariann & those who feel as she does.
There’s the people who voted for Trump.
And there are these people….

Beautiful Earth….
NASA’s ‘Beautiful Earth’ collection celebrates diverse landscapes from above.
Some were captured by the Landsat 7 satellite but other satellites and crew members on the International Space Station have also documented Earth, taking shots of everywhere from Georgia, USA, to the islands of New Caledonia in the South Pacific.

From ‘Emergence’ Magazine…..
by David Farrier
“Time lives in the body, not as the tick of the clock, but as a pulse in the blood. It is a thought, buried deep in nerve, leaf, and gene.”
While a wristwatch ticks to a steady beat, helping us keep time to a repeat round of numbers, buried deep within each of us is also a “wild clock”—a set of intuitive, biological traits that help coordinate our smaller existence with the greater wheels of life that turn around us. Embedded within every living thing, these clocks respond to changes in the landscape—light, sound, temperature—allowing time to be experienced as a conversation with the Earth.
In this essay, David Farrier explores how wild clocks are falling out of synchronization as the Earth transforms. In an age of ecological crisis, with long-held alignments between predators and prey; blooms and pollinators; climate and migration beginning to fray, David writes, “it can be difficult to know exactly what time it really is.” Examining the shifting clocks of spruce saplings in Norway’s Future Library, Sami reindeer herds in Scandinavia, and oyster colonies in Scotland’s Firth of Forth, he imagines an opportunity to renew the rhythms by which we live so that all life might flourish—to once again remember time as an expression of kinship.
