Dear President Trump, Since I was a little girl my mom has frequently gotten frustrated with me because I tend to jump into a conversation in the middle of whatever topic is at hand, forgetting that the person I’m talking with isn’t in my head and privy to all my background thoughts about whatever it … Continue reading Baggage
LKM Basics
LKM for my most difficult person
Dear President Trump, My daughter and I drove down to Portland yesterday to see my family. Fortunately all the snow up here and the freezing rain down there had stopped, and we just had plain old rain (lots of plain old rain). We were going to stay another night and come back in the morning … Continue reading LKM for my most difficult person
You are so very hard to keep wishing well
Dear President Trump, I'll get back to my rant tomorrow or the next day, but tonight I feel like talking with you about some features of your contact page and of my letters to you. You probably aren't familiar with your contact page since it would be strange for you to write to yourself, so … Continue reading You are so very hard to keep wishing well
Not being bombarded with politics
Dear President Trump, I'm not sure how this is going to go since I'm in the airport here in D.C. waiting for my flight and trying to take advantage of the wifi before I get on the plane. I'll get back to Seattle around 10 tonight and am pretty sure I'll be too exhausted at … Continue reading Not being bombarded with politics
Nooses hanging in trees
Dear President Trump, I may have missed it, but I checked online yesterday to see whether you've made a statement condemning the nooses that keep showing up in public spaces and I didn't see anything. I googled "Trump noose" and the only things that came up were how there's been a dramatic increase in hate … Continue reading Nooses hanging in trees
Just a blessing today
Dear President Trump, I've never done the Seattle/DC trip in less than 48 hours before and although it is really nice to be home, I am exhausted so tonight my letter to you will just be a vehicle for a metta blessing for us all. May we all be safe and make sound decisions. May … Continue reading Just a blessing today
Two temporary most difficult people
Dear President Trump, For the first time in six months you were not my most difficult person this morning when I said my LKM prayer. That doesn't mean you aren't actually still my most difficult person, but this morning two people beat you out. Last night we were sitting on the couch when we heard … Continue reading Two temporary most difficult people
Tilting at the windmill of your presidency
Dear President Trump, Before I started sending you LKM blessings every day, I had joked with a couple of people about doing so, in part to see what it felt like to say it out loud and in part to gauge their reactions. I started with people who know how LKM is traditionally used because … Continue reading Tilting at the windmill of your presidency
Amazonian moths
Dear President Trump, I couldn't go to church this morning because I had to come to San Diego to give a presentation tomorrow. I've found myself kind of restless and unsettled all day, probably in part because of the talk tomorrow and not feeling quite solid about it yet, but also I think, because I … Continue reading Amazonian moths
LKM for strangers = little periscopes
Dear President Trump, Does it really feel to you like the appointment of a special counsel is a witch hunt or is this more bluster to try and ensure your base stays in your corner? There may be multi-verses where alternate streams of reality play out (maybe, who knows?), but I bet in precious few … Continue reading LKM for strangers = little periscopes
