Here’s “A thought for today,” from A-Word-A Day:
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be. – Abraham Maslow
Maslow is best known for his “hierarchical needs,” which I always thought was excellent. The statement here is a part of that theory; it’s what “self-actualization” means.
Incredibly powerful, IMO.
In an average month, I meet probably five people who traveled here from another country. Unless there is a good reason to avoid the topic, I like to ask how Trump is regarded at home.
Universally, the answer that Trump is a despicable joke. I use the word “universally” in the literal sense; I’ve yet to speak with someone who has anything good to say about the current U.S. president.
Don’t you just love the mom’s eyes in this political cartoon?
Pope Leo is continuing–and expanding–the trend in the Catholic Church towards compassion for all of humankind.
This, of course, runs afoul of Trump and the MAGA base that, for instance, regards immigrants as “vermin.”
