We should all aspire to have the inflated ego of a white man who can lose 12 votes and still be confident in his acclaim. 🙄

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

How many times can Kevin McCarthy be rejected before his previously unseen dignity steps in to have him gracefully bow out?

While experiencing happiness, we have difficulty in being conscious of it. Only when the happiness is past and we look back on it do we suddenly realize - sometimes with astonishment -how happy we had been.

WaPo gift article --

A Black man steps forward when overtly racist white contractors fail to do so.

"He didn’t seek the job. He had never paid much attention to Civil War history. City and state officials said they turned to Team Henry Enterprises after a long list of bigger contractors — all White-owned — said they wanted no part of taking down Confederate statues."

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;

if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain.

From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me.

There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

#Quotes

I have drunk the night
and swallowed the stars.
I am dancing with abandon
and singing with rapture.
There is not a thing I do not love.
There is not a person I have not forgiven.
I feel a universe of love.
I feel a universe of light.
Tonight, I am with old friends
and we are returning home.
The moon is our witness.

~ Kamand Kojouri
