I was feeling a little out of it yesterday--gaining a serious allergic reaction to Jingoism, methinks. All the people wavering between "let's goooo!" and "that's it?!" had me sick to my stomach, but I know the armchair-warrior eagerness for war is just another form of trauma.

Here was Tough Times Tuesday: a reflection on how much we need to adjust to life under climate change.

Today's piece will come later. It's a tough one, on how we've abused the memories of the dead.

@MLClark GOod morning ML! It's a joy to see you.

I am grateful for all you share, and the depth of your analysis. Your words are sorely needed in the world and I am glad you are sharing them.

What happened yesterday in the middle east felt like a dam breaking to me. There has been such a feeling of worried anticipation that Iran was going to do something.

It was nothing I was looking forward too, just a sad resignation that it will probably get worse before it gets better.

@MLClark Eventually, even the most angry will grow exhausted at the prospect of war, but I admit to being impatient for peace.

It's all so fundamentally unnecessary and I am weary of seeing the humans destroy themselves.

One life lost is to much.
