Rewilding in the Frost . . .

Wednesday, March 26, 2025. It's Odin's day … Easy Easterlies are to bring sunny skies and low 80's to TulseyTown today.

Today is the birthdate of poet Robert Frost. He was born today in 1874 San Francisco.

It's also Joseph Campbell's birth day. The prolific author and mythologist was born in 1904, New York City.

And playwright Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 Columbus, Mississippi.

Remembering Francis Perkins. “There is always a large horizon…. There is much to be done … it is up to you to contribute some small part to a program of human betterment for all time.” – Heather Cox Richardson, in Letters From An American.

The “overview effect.” We can be roused through experiences of wonder and awe to think in bigger ways about ourselves, and to be more compassionate and understanding. – Graham Lau in Aēon Psyche, 3.25.25

Rewilding Wilde. Those who have attempted to mold Wilde to their own agenda, simplifying his complexities, have soon found that ‘he turns to quicksilver in their fingers’. – Sam Mills in Aēon, 3.25.25.

This week, the impact of what it means to be America under Trump 2.0 will continue to hit hard. One important indicator: Tourism to the U.S. is on the decline. – Joyce Vance, The Week Ahead, Civil Discourse.

Heather Cox Richardson posted “the skinny” on the Trump team f**k up exposing secret war plans making soldiers and pilots vulnerable to attack.


Neglect

They leave us so to the way we took,

As two in whom they were proved mistaken,

That we sit sometimes in the wayside nook,

With mischievous, vagrant, seraphic look,

And try if we cannot feel forsaken.

– Robert Frost. This poem is in the public domain.
