Something I wrote in 2008....

...seems apt for this primary season and our politics in general. To paraphrase:

There's no point in allowing our "concerns" to rob us of our peace. I think we sometimes enshrine our own emotional reactions to wrong, and it blocks us from doing what we can to change things.

Remember ma hunnies, one can be enraged over lead in the water.... and funding for children with autism... and death in Gaza and elsewhere.... (this scene from Henry V shows a war crime, the murder of servant boys on the field of battle)...

...and yet not know the day is ours: "Praised be God, and not our strength for it."





And I hope you watched to the end, when even the victorious King himself is reminded that he is no more than a leek-wearing Welshman. And that his honesty is his most important quality.

"God keep me so."

Stay strong, stay focused, stay humble, fight on.

Knitting for Code Pink in the mail today.

Six squares, one dark green and five "code pink" pink (aka watermelon acrylic, yes CP, I'm sending you the leftover yarn too because that's. not. sitting. in. my. fiber. snob. stash.)

Info on this fine project here.

As you may recall, this is not the first time I've done something political, pro-peace, and crafty for Mother's Day.
