A Sabbath Poem by Wendell Berry

It’s no secret that I’m not a Trump fan but I’m sincerely disturbed that he believes he can work his way into heaven. Shame on the charlatans that clamor around him for proximity to power. I truly hope someone shares the gospel w/ him. Think what changing that 1 heart would do.

Happy 91st Birthday to America’s greatest living writer, Wendell Berry! May he continue putting pencil to paper!

FYI: Authoritarian dictators stay in power an avg of 13 yrs but many hold on longer. Several factors affect the longevity of oppression, including ability to maintain control, manage elections, incentives provided to key supporters, succession plans, etc. Thank you for your attention to this matter

A Sabbath Poem by Wendell Berry —This one goes out to everybody who fought for our public lands and let their voices be heard by those in power

A Sabbath Poem by Wendell Berry.

The chances of land this close to Grand Teton and Yellowstone NP being used for “affordable housing” are absolutely 0. Largest public land grab in modern U.S. history w/no hearings, debate, or public input. Future playgrounds of the mega wealthy. Tell your Congressional reps/Senators to stop it.

Giving serious thought to one of these. But, a question for multi-instrumentalists—if you play the guitar and take up the mandolin, don’t the different chord shapes and positions between the 2 get confusing?

I know there’s a lot of other stuff going on right now but they’re at it again. Don’t let them take it. Protests and crying into the void won’t really help. Do the boring thing. The only effective thing. Contact your Senators and reps in Congress. www.backcountryhunters.org/take_action#...

5 months. Geez.🙄

Stop the back-door deal to sell off our public lands www.backcountryhunters.org/take_action#...

🧵 Tues night I had 1 of the best nights of my life. Long story so I made it a thread. I’ve been a huge @pearljam.com fan since ‘91/92 when most everybody else was and have remained a big fan since. If you’re not a music fan don’t bother reading. You won’t get it. If you are, read on…

Purple vetch blooming in the orchard today

We don’t need a “Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias”. Those of us who call ourselves Christian simply need to do a better job of living by the teachings of Jesus Christ. Seems to me that would do more to eradicate anti-Christian bias than anything.

Spotted a covey of quail in the orchard. Made my day. A sign of healthy land. Spring orchards full of clover, grasses, vetch, wild radish, etc. make great nesting/brood habitat for them, especially if additional cover is nearby

Lovely afternoon at the State Botanical Gardens of Georgia with spring springing

A Sabbath Poem by Wendell Berry

Here’s some of that non-park, “under-utilized” Federal land they want to place “affordable” housing on to line the pockets of the wealthy few. As it is, you can go there and experience this for free. It belongs to you. Don’t let them take it.

Why propose building “affordable” housing on public land that has no amenities, jobs, or resources to support a significant human population when there are already rural towns throughout the nation that are drying up and undergoing a population exodus?

Made a new acquaintance in my travels today

I hate to even put these 2 POS on my timeline. Most of these “underutilized Federal Lands” were fed lands since originally coming under US control and were returned to the federal government when after 1862 Homeatead act, homesteaders realized these lands weren’t made for human habitation.

The pecan trees declare spring is here. I hope they’re not wrong.

Redbud and red maple adding some early spring color over Limestone Creek. The land is waking up in the SE Coastal Plain.

My life wouldn’t change 1 bit if Crypto/Bitcoin, etc just went away & no longer existed. I doubt most of yours would either. But the loss of services by NOAA, NWS, NIH, CDC, USDA, NPS, NFS, USFWS, etc have serious implications. That’s a hell of a priority difference right there.

Enjoyed my favorite late winter/early spring activity today -burning pine land. Nothing like the sweetly pungent smell of fat-lighter stumps burning.
