Mother of God (1950) by Robert Rauschenberg - White circle emerges from a tapestry of map fragments, blending abstraction with cartography.

This is no lie. I was 7-8 and walk back and forth to my friend’s house, .5 miles away. Late into the evening, when I was a little older. We’d ride our bikes all over town, sometimes beyond the city limits.

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Truth, then, is not a possession,
but a connection—
the echo of the cosmos recognizing itself in sentience.

In the act of pondering,
the Mystery does not merely appear;
it creates itself again,
each time more complete,
more subtle, more luminous.

Numenius is one of the more mysterious figures in Neoplanonism. He is considered to be a father of that phase of Platonism and may have influenced heavily the Chaldean Oracles, that mysterious collection considered to be communications from the gods themselves.

To rise in consciousness without love is to stretch into abstraction —
a sky vast yet cold, where light travels without warmth.

To love without consciousness is to burn without form —
a fire fierce but blind, consuming without understanding.

The full bloom of being, presence entwine.

In the hush between heartbeats,
we remember what was never forgotten:
the pulse of the infinite,
folding itself into our names.

Each breath—
a shimmer of the unseen current,
each gaze—
a mirror through which eternity peers.

We are the echo
and the origin,
the silence
and its song.

To the One Who Is Seen

Each breath returns
What never left.

To know is not to name,
But to stand undone —
Where the eye becomes
What it beholds.

Reject the choosing,
And all divides reveal
Their quiet seam —
Through soul akin—
Neither within, nor without,
But the Clear Between.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
