From January 6 Rage to (Near) Unconditional Empathy on January 7
I struggle to think of a moment I felt more gutted, frustrated and enraged than the few hours I spent watching the January 6 insurrection live last year. While I certainly have my grievances with American democracy, it’s legitimacy, and what we should consider acceptable protest against illegitimate institutions, I couldn’t help but feel that all that was good about this American experiment was under siege.

The Night's Light
I can still remember my first moon. For the first time in my life, the dance of the deepening darkness and the crawl of the cold broke apart from another. The chill in the air continued, but that perfect glowing orb illuminated the Great Inside nearly as if it was day.
