In response to Rachel Brody.
My work is as presbyterian minister and hospice chaplain. My passions include choral singing, piano, fountain pens. I'm growing in awareness of racial justice and my participation in white supremacy. "When you know better, do better." In April I saw a tweet by @Joyannreid that brought me here. ♥️💜

Sometimes I will respond (reacted) without thinking. When I take a breath and give a thought to how I respond I am more likely to be kind. THINK is good to remember. Thanks.

An excellent analysis of the press and presidential campaigns. And something for all of us to be mindful of.

Who disabled Ayanna Pressley's panic button?
Who gave the Congress floor plan to rioters?
Who planted the pipe bomb at DNC HQ?
Why did Chris Miller refuse to let DC Nat'l Guard intervene?

Just finished watching (again) The Man Who Invented Christmas, while my wife has been at choir. This has become one of my (currently) favorite Christmas movies.

In order to survive, I disassociated for much of my childhood, but I clearly remember the books. That's where I found comfort, companionship, inspiration and validation. It's where the imagination that powers everything I do creatively in my life today was born. And it all started in that ..

One of my hobbies is to use fountain pens and hand write poems, prose, and quotes. Here is one that I captured recently. What are some that you have found meaningful or inspirational? Feel free to add yours (typed or written) in the comments.

Make it smooth and fine

I want to rest my soul

One activity I enjoy is to use a #fountainpen to write out quotes, poems, and occasionally song lyrics. #blackhistoryquote #poetry #poemesdujour have been good places to start. Any other suggestions?

There was a conspiracy.
They knew Trump had lost.
They knew the mob was violent.
They knew Pence had no authority.
They knew the fake electors were illegal.
They all knew.
Donald Trump knew.
And Donald Trump led the whole thing.

Although I still see signs of hope, I can appreciate the sentiment, the feelings, expressed here. It is not a linear path we are following. Over the decades, every advance in civil rights is meet with hateful resistance. And I know I have not done enough. Which is part of my sadness.
Muriel Vieux @MurielVieuxI vividly remember the hope that filled me when I saw the images of “hands up please don’t shoot me” that filled my feed and news channels after the death of George Floyd. For the first time in my life I thought “This is it, this is the turning point!” #TheAmericanHaitianPoet08:35 AM - Nov 02, 2023
