Life doesn’t allow for us to go back and fix what we have done wrong in the past
But it does allow for us to live each day better than our last.

There are so many things within this song that ring true to many, but this quote is one of my favorites. It's so true how strong and passionate a relationship can start, but over time can wither. Relationships need to be fostered.

I'm also embarrassed that the allegory between the name of the song and the name of the band alluded me for so long. Let me know in the comments if you caught the reference in the song title.

We've all experienced that lingering question: What if circumstances had aligned differently? The weight of missed opportunities and unexplored potential can cast a shadow on the heart. Yet, the spark of hope remains. The dream that someday, fate might circle back, offering a second chance. The idea that years from now, across time and distance, the stars might align, bringing two souls together once more.

“One of the greatest privileges of being on one's own is the flattering illusion that one is, in truth, really quite an easy person to live with.”

— Alain De Botton

“I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don’t know how to do that.” – James Gustave Speth

“You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good photographer does the math and doesn't waste either.”

When you arise in the morning
Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive
To breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Great example of the #QuoteTweet to stimulate good responses, great engagement.

“You ever had a #racist experience but it was funny tho.”

The many great replies show everyday racism (it’s quite tiring), but also shows how propaganda and indoctrination is a deliberate system. This was one such #quote reply.

“There are few uglier traits than this tendency --
witnessed in men no worse than their neighbors --
to grow cruel, merely because they possessed the power of inflicting harm.”
~Nathaniel Hawthorne

May the stars carry your sadness away.
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty.
And above all, may silence make you strong.

(By Chris Claremont, Marc Silvestri, Dan Green, Glynis Oliver, and Joe Rosen)

Was reminded of this Discworld quote and it holds so much truth. Not because the uber-privileged aren't heavily to blame, they are. But the inclination to mentally place the issue far away from us is also real. We want it to be some other men, some other white people, some other communities that are "bad", not ours, not here, so we are safe from the problem and free of the responsibility. But a major part of change and growth is self-reflection.

Yesterday, I shared this #quote with someone. I forgot that it's attributed to former US President Teddy Roosevelt.
Maybe #today some of you can use it too.
#ClimateCrisis is so *waves arms frantically* fucking much. Everything is so fucking much.

Individually we can't fix anything, but we can try. Do some little part today & tomorrow. Plant a seed, help a neighbor, put out water for insects & animals, share food or knowledge.
