Friendly reminder
I Ching for the day: give up the incessant demands of my ego; deepen humility and acceptance; let go of my resistance to life and hold quiet and correct thoughts. AMEN.

A SLOW 7/4 IS ACTIVISM IN AND OF ITSELF
What’s society built on
What’s society built on
What’s society built on
What’s society built on
It’s built on, built on bluff,
Built on bluff, built on trust,
What’s society built on
It’s built on, built on words,
Built on words, built on work
Responsible for what I say
Responsible for what I hush

Insightful Mike Wallace interview with Rod Serling (from 1959) who speaks openly about false information, creative control, censorship and the “lunatic fringe of letter writers…” We are living in The Twilight Zone. The world is abundant.
TIMES NEW UNHOLY ROMAN EMPIRE HERE WE COME
Michigan seems like a bad dream to me now. — Sufjan Stevens
Friendly reminder, lest we lose all common sense and decency. The Ten Commandments are neither profound nor difficult, at all. They are meant to distinguish us from barbarianism and narcissism. They are basic rules for being a human—bottom line. You don’t even have to believe in “God” or read these terms “literally” to comprehend the basic principle of love at any cost and the very clear prescription for humanity. Don’t do as your corrupt leaders do. Don’t do as your corrupt celebrities do. Don’t do as I do. Don’t do as the world implores you to “get what’s yours.” You are not entitled to anything. The breath you breathe is on borrowed time. Your days are numbered. Take captive all selfishness and evil and be abundant in life! Eradicate your bullshit. This is the day the Lord has made. Do as kindness and love concede to purity and grace and gratitude. Love your enemies. Love yourself. Give up your life for your brothers and sisters. Be a servant and a steward and nothing less than a saint. The world is abundant and I am so happy to be in it with you. Amen! — Sufjan Stevens
