"There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now."
100 years of James Baldwin. How everything he said still glimmers in my soul
300 days of the killing in Gaza. The grief and guilt of 186,000 people dead (and the many more missing, disabled, orphaned...)
A deadline that keeps coming back like a zombie
A lifetime of intentions in an unreasonable world
A lifeline of everything happy wrapped in possible sadness and vice versa
In the meantime, love shows up and we carry on

Pic: It was Nu's turn to bring the after-dinner fruit to the table and when they placed the wedges of watermelon with its Palestinian colors next to the "Against the MSU War Machine" zine we picked up at the protest, the juxtaposition was just begging to be photographed.

Nice.
Oh, James Baldwin. Every time I look at his face, I feel a wave of emotion. What a brilliant, brilliant human being. How lucky we were that he shared his gift.
Gillian--Thanks!
Nance--Truly! Lucky indeed.
Last line-- yes, it does.
