Ten Thousand Flowers in Spring
Wu-Men
Translated from the Chinese by Stephen Mitchell
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

an artist friend made this as a gift for me inspired by Zekharya 3.9 (the Haftarah for the first Shabbat of Hanukkah)

a rock painted with seven eyes (three visible) and Hebrew handwriting quoting Zekharyah 3.9

mind haven

I told my therapist: "If I actually tell them 'no,' it's going to ruin the peace in the family."
She looked dead at me and said: "If the
"peace' only exists because you are suffering in silence, that isn't peace.
That's a hostage situation."
I've been staring at the ceiling for an hour.

"The Ben-Gvir-ization of Israel," says this
40-year-old Haifa resident, "is starting to remind me of my youth in Ukraine when I lived in fear of right-wing nationalists. It feels like this story is repeating itself here."

At protest marking 1,000 days of war, images that seemingly belonged to the past were displayed, but for the families of those killed and the hostages, October 2023 never ended.
Meanwhile, members of the government continued to make cruel statements

"The wheels are coming off': readers reflect on the 250th anniversary of the American experiment
Against a backdrop of sweeping rollbacks of civil rights and deteriorating relations with allies, many are feeling cynical

Rabbi Ariel Stone@rabbiariel· Jul 2

inspired every day and also on this 250th anniversary of the USA's founding (and its potential) by the inspiring and visionary leadership of Bobbin Singh at the @ojrcenter.bsky.social

That work is far from finished. We refuse to retreat into cynicism and accept injustice as inevitable. At the Oregon Justice Resource Center, we remain focused ending mass incarceration and defending civil rights. We have faith that Oregonians have the courage and the imagination necessary to close the gap between our present reality and our highest ideals. On this July 4th while
many will celebrate with the traditional pageantry of the holiday, we will "more quietly commemorate the suffering, struggle, and sacrifice that has triumphed over what was wrong...and observe the anniversary with hopes not realized and promises not fulfilled." We recommit ourselves to the unfinished task of building an Oregon - and an America - that is protective of the rights and dignity of
everyone.

This is me and my little brother in 1966. Harry died on this date in 2018 of endless emotional need and oxycontin. As his big sister, I always tried to protect him. I'm sorry I could not. #FuckSackler

God bless the grass that grows thru the crack. They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back. The concrete gets tired of what it has to do, It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru, And God bless the grass.
