Later.... P.S. This list of markers of true strength is going to be a work in progress over time as different facets occur to me. Because I don’t want to risk losing track of them by waiting until tomorrow or some other day down the road, here are a few more important aspects of true … Continue reading True strength, elaborated
True strength
Dear President Trump, When I say a loving-kindness prayer for myself and people other than you, I always include the word "strong" when I send the intention for health so that the phrase is "May you be healthy and strong." I haven't been saying that to you because I've been concerned that your conceptualization of … Continue reading True strength
It’s like the house next door is on fire
Dear President Trump, I really don't like waiting until the very end of the day to write to you. I much prefer getting it over with first thing in the morning because I'm mentally and emotionally freer the rest of the day. Unfortunately though, even when I do write you in the morning my thoughts … Continue reading It’s like the house next door is on fire
Our tax dollars are supporting you screwing us over
Dear President Trump, So let's just imagine for a few minutes what it would have been like had Hillary Clinton won the election and how questions about ethics violations and conflicts of interest would have been handled if she were president with a Republican majority House and Senate. Hmm. Do you think they would, for … Continue reading Our tax dollars are supporting you screwing us over
You can’t logic your way out of a hat
Dear President Trump, I realize you don't care and will never know, but the day rather got away from me so this is going to be short. Rather than launching into a substantive topic about one of the many ways you and your administration are screwing things up for the vast majority of the earth's … Continue reading You can’t logic your way out of a hat
Tolerance was starting to get traction
Dear President Trump, I wonder if you know the myth of Cronus, the Father of Time who upon learning in a prophecy that his children were destined to overthrow him someday, just went ahead and ate them. It might be too arcane for you, but it got me thinking how time really eats all children … Continue reading Tolerance was starting to get traction
Stopped clocks are right more often than you
Dear President Trump, It has been true from day 1 of your presidency that there are more scary things deserving of comment coming out of your administration than I can count, but lately I've been feeling almost like I should just pull something randomly out of a hat to write to you about. There's so … Continue reading Stopped clocks are right more often than you
Selling our children’s futures down the river
Dear President Trump, I know you never see these messages I send you. I am clear about that and know that even if you did see them, you wouldn't care one tiny iota what I have to say. I wish I were a big enough person to be able to honestly say this is ok … Continue reading Selling our children’s futures down the river
More people in harm’s way
Dear President Trump, I think Masha Gessen makes some very good points in her NYT's editorial this morning. As you may or may not know, her main premise is that we who oppose you need to be careful not to stoop to exaggerating or fabricating to make our points and that there is more than … Continue reading More people in harm’s way
Conquer and divide taken to new, sick heights
Dear President Trump, I've been wondering how much longer I'm going to need to address you as President Trump and thus, how much longer I need to send you loving-kindness blessings. It's already been far longer than I'd like and it could be as long as 2,855 more days if you somehow avoid impeachment and … Continue reading Conquer and divide taken to new, sick heights
