All that we are is story. When we can share those stories,
we recognize our kinship: we change the world, one story at a time. (R.Wagamese)

…you felt wounded when you thought maybe you deserved it.

— Some Bright Nowhere: A Novel by Ann Packer

Great book so far. Interesting spin on an age old situation. And we all feel deserving of being wounded at some point, in some interaction.

What good is any other virtue without love?

The book starts out so slowly that I was afraid I was reading the first of Lily King’s books I wouldn’t like. But it finally got going and I love it.

(Yes, 67 is gone but 67 was heaven) (Marty Balin)

When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment

And when I first saw you I first loved you
With a song that I sang to the fire in your eyes
But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy
And you carried that lie for the devil to sing

O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king

But there was a point, long ago, when I realized that the feeling I had standing atop a mountain, face-to-face with the horizon, or wading in remote rivers, was a satisfaction & a peace beyond explanation. The backcountry is my mother.

…this was America, where you lunged into the brutality of the market, seizing enough money for you and your loved ones, or risked shortened life spans, medical bankruptcy, unforgiving financial ruin.

THIS IS TRUMP’S AMERICA!

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.
