When the boundaries fall away, the gaze that meets its own shimmer is not seeking shape or certainty.
In that reflection, the soul does not find an image but a continuity—
a motion without edge,
a presence that needs no definition,
a being that precedes becoming.
As it is…

The land tones as Spring slips into Summer at Shell Ridge Open Space in Walnut Creek, #California add warmth to this late afternoon scene from the Ridge Top Trail above. Notice the bare tree near lower right that looks like a red spider in the sun rays.

No question about this & using the war excuse for much more.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

This Thanksgiving, read a Native American poet’s song of healing
When Allison Adelle Hedge Coke wrote her poem “America, I Sing Back,” she considered each word a note in a larger song about the nation. “I thought about America singing. That’s why this poem is a song -- a voice calling for reclamation.”

In that trembling of beginnings
the whole sky leans closer,
and I offer nothing
but an open palm.
Gratitude moves without footsteps,
a wind that remembers
the names of stones,
the dreams of rivers,
the quiet labor of stars.

A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.
NEWS: Medicaid Data Now Flows to ICE
Effective today, a new federal directive allows immigration enforcement to access state healthcare enrollment data, TPS ends for thousands of Burmese war refugees, plus Kristi Noem explainer video.

Until a few weeks ago, most immigration arrests in NYC were happening at appointments in the Manhattan federal building or immigration offices. That's over: we're now in the randomly-grabbed-while-out-getting-coffee stage of lawless enforcement. From @gwynnefitz.bsky.social
Sidewalk Arrests Seize New Yorkers in ICE’s Latest Surge
Activists and legal advocates are tracking seemingly random detentions of immigrants on the streets in what they say is a campaign of ethnic profiling.
