A self-taught eremite who tries to see the good in people. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth a try. If you give in to hate, evil wins.
“Little by little, we learn a little more each day
That God is love; That life is short;
That all will be well, and I know all will be well in his time”

“Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... now you tell me what you know.”

When the #POTUS was re-elected, I was distraught. Initially, mistakenly, I let my emotions get the better of me. Then I deleted my original #bluesky account and let go of my anger. I firmly believe that most Americans are still decent people and that this too shall pass. Decency will prevail.
