Lonliness
In the mailbox that Freya uses on days like these . . .\
. . . we will never forget that a lot of your families lost children on the soils they never knew before just because they were fighting for liberty and for universal values. – Emmanuel Macron, on the occason of the first state visit of Biden’s presidency by the French president and his wife, Brigitte Macron.
Detached from the stuff of our humanness, we become incapacitated with respect to effecting real change. – Rob Brezsney
As the gods in olden stories
turned mortals into laurel trees and crows
to teach them some kind of lesson,
so we were turned into Americans
to learn something about loneliness.
