2025: A Year of Great Uncertainty

5785 Shana Tova! Our civilization has survived this long. We will transcend this horrible fraught time in history. May this year mark a successful struggle for a more humane future. Sunset at Corn Hill Beach.

Shana Tova 5785!

Happy Rosh Ha Shanna! Our civilization has survived this long. We will transcend this horribly fraught time in history. May this year mark the successful struggle for a more humane future for all peoples. (Sunset at Corn Hill Beach, Truro, MA 2024 with Remi.)

Urging us all to look for the levers that will widen “the crack of where the light comes in.” — Anthem. Apologies to Leonard Cohen.
