Bruno’s “heresy” included proposing that the stars were distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets and that these planets could even foster life of their own. Gordon White describes Bruno as "[t]he true founder of unrepentant space shamanism and the quintessential meddling, adventurous (and interpersonally difficult) wizard." #bruno #rspm

Stories "co-created by the woods...shaped by what I encounter, what I touch and see. What I imagine when I’m in contact with them."

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, author, critic, and scholar, was born this day in 1892. Gordon White: "Yes, Tolkien said, fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can." #hbd #tolkien #rspm

Thank you @gordon_white@twitter.com for creating this fantastic #RSPM community, which literally helped save my actual life. Thank you Rev, and Nate, and Ivy, and everyone else for everything you have done for me. I'm going to go have a fancy lunch with my wife to celebrate, and toast YOU!❤️

With Ivy and Nate's encouragement, I overcame my shyness and asked the #RSPM intention group for some prayers. The response was immediate, and helpful, and welcome, and caring. God bless everyone who prayed for me, you made a huge difference.

In June 2022, I was called to the Poison Path following diagnosis of high risk Stage IV prostate cancer with hemipelvic nodal metastasis. I'm fortunate to have good health insurance and supportive family/spouse, but I was scared shitless. That's when my #RSPM fam showed up./🧵
