If we’ve known one another since the Post era or earliest BlueSky or only recently connected here, you know that humor is at the heart of my point of view. Humor is powerful medicine. It can mute our differences, even if only while we’re sharing a laugh; sometimes it breaks the walls of conflict.

This hut was inspired by traditional Scandinavian snow lanterns called Snölykta. The hut is made of 5000 snowballs. It’s much larger than a typical Snölykta because it’s to be a shelter that could be entered - where people put candles, giving the surroundings a nice glow when the interior is lit up.

During the long, dark Scandinavian winters light is treasured, whether in the brief appearance of sunlight or the steady light of lanterns, lamps and candles. Throughout many generations, residents of Sweden have followed the tradition of building snow lanterns, called Snölykta.

It’s time for Tuesday Trivia, so put on your thinking cap or sharpen your intuition and take a guess! This one’s a bit of a sticky challenge. (As always, the answer is hiding somewhere in the first comment.)

I had the honor to spend some time with Jane Goodall. One cannot meet one’s own soul more clearly than when feeling her direct gaze that so profoundly, so intimately, sees us as clearly as she also knows and sees into our primate cousins.
