I always think people are better than this.
And I’m always disappointed. ☹️
I have an excellent book on monastic practice which I discovered last night (on my Kindle; forgot it was even there). I’m going to spend a great deal of time with it because politics is like candy: empty calories and you never feel good when the sugar rush ends.
Besides, Advent is coming. I can’t/won’t abandon my interests (I know better than that), but good time for a reset.
I’d pretty much gotten used to the politics of Texas. Now I’ve learned again those politics are national. 💩
Time to refocus. Reinhold Niebuhr warned his daughter, when Eisenhower was elected, that she had no idea what a Republican presidency would be like. Sure enough; it gets worse. And I can’t help but see it all as a reaction, not to current Democratic policies, but to the election of JFK and then LBJ. Something deep in the core of the nation’s culture, IOW.
May you live in interesting times, eh?
