- “If we understand a little bit of what we’re doing, maybe it will help us to find our way out of the maze of hallucinations that we have created around ourselves.” • Gregory Bateson “Steps to an Ecology of Mind”
- #Sane_Making #music My most favorite performance of “Dido’s Lament” by the sublime Haley Westenra 🎵🖤🎵 ❝Don’t worry about saving these songs! And if one of our instruments breaks, it doesn’t matter. We have now fallen into the place where everything is music.❞ • Rumi youtu.be/acnJcwIqJo4?...
- How you do anything is how you do everything. • a Zen aphorism #Sane_Making #music 🎵🖤🎵 youtu.be/4FL7c7zcpvA?...
- What‘s with some BlueSky luminaries manic-y postings of every salacious tidbit of debauchery in the Epstein droppings? Their excited commentary about how disgusted they are is beginning to ring false, giving me (a CSA survivor & survivor of rape at 18) the creeps. I changed my notices for a few.
- 🌋 "We are volcanoes, — When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains." • Ursula K. Le Guin
- 1 Torrents of #grief & #loneliness grabbed me this morning. Dad’s birthday’s coming up. Dad & my sister were my people. There’s no one alive w/whom I can rage & cry now.

- We teeter always on the edge of chaos, as complexity scientists say, though it feels more now. “Very few people seem to have noticed that we are a species gone mad –it’s not part of our planetary dialogue– which itself is an expression of the extent of the collective insanity we have fallen into …”
- #GroundhogDay “We could learn to stop when the sun goes down and when the sun comes up. We could learn to listen to the wind; we could learn to notice that it’s raining or snowing or hailing or calm. We could reconnect with the weather that is ourselves…” • Pema Chödrön
- #GroundhogDay /1 It seems fitting to mention that I’m a believer in the importance of #continuity in this life. How many of us like Phil Vonnors and Punxatawny Phil will see our shadow today? 🖤
