Thank you, Buddy, for the beauty of the sky, shore, and dimly revealed boats on the glimmering water. Thank you, Heather Cox Richardson, for your steady mind through the anguish here in the US; the survival of Ukraine as a democracy; the pain and terror in Israel, along with deaths (many of them children), bloodshed and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The demands for a keen mind and for moral clarity could hardly be more difficult.
