The world needs our action, but it also needs our joy. Please don’t shame people for finding beauty or passion amidst the struggle. Joy isn't a distraction; it’s the fuel we need to keep going. Living as well as we can is a form of resistance, too. We can hold space for both.

I was wondering about the use of time by people who had no clock in a book I recently read.
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?
Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

Look for the good.
Look for the helpers.
At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives.
