Heart of the Country

 

Why We Continue

This photo is from an event that took place recently at the Fine Arts Center of Colorado College. Just look at the expression on that child's face. The adults allegedly in charge of this country, and many others, have made daily life into a surreal circus. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they kill. But every day some new innocent enters this vale of tears in laughter and wonder. And that, in my eyes, makes the rest bearable.

The Prophetic Tradition

 

I estimate that I spend at least 2 hours each day scouring the internet looking at a variety of news sources trying to figure out what is actually happening in the world. I see many claims made, often unsubstantiated or only thinly so. I see a great deal of speculation passed off as reporting. Journalism is all but dead. I am reducing my "news" consumption to 15 minutes and dedicating the remaining 105 minutes to reading Blake.
