...in the family of things...

Thursday, November 27, 2025. It's Thor's day … Light Easterlies make for a lovely Thanksgiving day for TulseyTown.

Indeed, today is Thanksgiving Day. Why Thursday?

The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was held in 1924 New York City.

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever we call it, whoever you are, we need one.

May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all beings be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow.
May all beings never be separated from the great happiness that is sorrowless.
May all leave attachment to dear ones and aversion to others and dwell in the equalness of all that lives. – Teaching from The Mahayana often referred to as the “heart-teaching” of Buddha.

Caring for nature: a thank-you from World Wildlife.org.

The lark's on the wing;

The snail's on the thorn;

God's in His heaven,

All's right with the world!

– Robert Browning, “Pippa's Song,” Pippa Passes.

Wild Geese

… the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese,

harsh and exciting – over and over

announcing your place in the family of things.

– Mary Oliver, “Wild Geese,” in Dream Work, Grove Atlantic,1986.
