As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon

It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find them

The darker it gets, the more you shine

Do not lose your humanity

This brief summary of yesterday’s letter is really good.

📝 Today’s Letter from an American reminds us: democracy isn’t lost in a grand coup. It’s bartered away in glittering rooms. If we don’t defend it—locally, nationally, globally—it will vanish like smoke through careless fingers.

I can’t put this book down! Mina’s art — I can see and feel it like it’s right in front of me. Same with the characters - their world and concerns feel real and immediate. If I had a book club I’d want this on the list!

Friends in Kingston Ontario, could I call on you for a small favour? I lost a pair of glasses downtown near St George’s Cathedral, and might have a lead on where they are but I can’t get to Kingston for a few days. If you can swing by that area today, let me know and I’ll give you the details? 🤞🤞🤞
