The houses welcoming all who knock and a sense of boundless offering in all relations, and in you and me. No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond, no belittling of death, but only longing for what belongs to us and serving earth, lest we remain unused." - Rainer Maria Rilke

The Left do like a good purge

Not a sheep at Not a sheep - 8 hours ago
'Labour's annual conference has voted to make it easier for local party members to deselect sitting MPs. Until now, Labour MPs only faced a reselection contest if 50% of a constituency's local branches and affiliated unions voted for it in a so-called "trigger ballot". Delegates in Liverpool voted for that threshold to be reduced to 33%. The deselection campaign is seen by some Labour MPs as an attempt to "purge" critics of Jeremy Corbyn.' The Left do enjoy a good purge. Maybe re-education camps will follow. Then labour camps for the enemies of the glorious revolution and the Great... more »

Chet Raymo, “Trying To Be Good”

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 8 hours ago
*“Trying To Be Good”* by Chet Raymo “A few lines from Mary Oliver's poem "Wild Geese": "You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." I've quoted these lines before, if not here, then elsewhere. When I first read them back in the late 80s, they resonated with what I felt at the time. I had spent part of my earliest adulthood walking on my knees, both literally and metaphorically, seeking to tame what I took to be the animal... more »

Beluga Whales Adopt a Lost Narwhal in Canada

White Wolf at White Wolf - 8 hours ago
Since 2016, a young narwhal has been spotted swimming in the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. Somehow this narwhal got very lost – the threatened species makes its home in the Arctic, over 600 miles to the north. In heartwarming, don’t-you-wish-all-species-could-be-like-whales news, the lost narwhal is no longer a stranger in a strange land. A pod of about 10 young, male beluga whales has adopted him as one of their own, and the narwhal is fitting right in with them. (He’s believed to be a young male because his tusk hasn’t yet grown to its full size of up to almost 9 feet.) This happ... more »

Rokkasho was going to solve Japan's energy needs by "closing the nuclear fuel cycle," an elusive dream that has continued to escape realization as the costs are exorbitant and the risks existential.
