    … today we remember the more than 1,200,000 people who have died in the service of our country since its founding. We remember their sacrifice and pray that someday such sacrifice will not be necessary … there is hope, because we are human and capable of incredible acts of goodness .. but then there is the flip side of the equation too. All we can do is to bring kindness and understanding with us in our daily lives and perhaps … perhaps those who lead the nations of the world will acknowledge that their duties are to honor their citizens and others as well.

    I find comfort and peace in the vastness of this beautiful planet … the photo above is of a single vulture who is ridge soaring the cliffs at Point Reyes in northern California as the fog was lifting and the photo below is one of peace at days end on the San Francisco Volcanic Field; Kendrick Peak is on the left side and the San Francisco Peaks on the right with A-1 crater left foreground, just in the light. Millions of years in the making and still changing. Humans have been forming civilizations for only 6,000 years … perhaps there is hope.

    Tomorrow night a request for a special photo of One will be honored … have a beautiful day … remember the price paid for us by those who went before.

    With gratitude,

    Ted

     
    You are a child of the universe no less
    than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be
    here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no
    doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
    Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you
    conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and
    aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep
    peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery
    and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
