The intention of this White House is to traumatize and each day they do a great job of that.  The onslaught continues but this morning I’m struck by the words of Nicholas Kristoff.  The Secretary of State Marco Rubio called him a liar because he said children are dying because of the Trump administration’s dismantling of U.S.A.I.D.  This is true.  It is not a lie.

Kristoff ends his column with this: To deny the reality of dying children not only insults the memory of children starving to death in Sudan and Yemen and Afghanistan; it also insults the intelligence of Americans.

June 14th is an essential day of protest.  May it be enough to turn the tide of cruelty and inhumanity.  

Last night I sat outside and watched dusk turn to night.  The moon was a crescent in the West, and one by one, the stars emerged.  The earth is so tiny, and yet, here we are with 8.2 billion people each one with a purpose, both personal and global.  

Yesterday I was at the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District.  It’s a beautiful place to walk quietly and filter water, life, transition, and peace.
