“I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people’s politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true…”
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It is Wednesday evening. We have had overcast skies throughout the day, metaphor for the feel of our country’s woundedness. The wind has picked up and will blow into Friday with gusts up to 70 mph. Another metaphor for our troubling times. Sometimes we live in our heads more than in the world and therefore what we think we think we know, just ain’t so. Time for all of us to stay planted in our shoes. It’s the only place we can live.

For whatever one might choose to believe there is something on social media that states it’s so. Truth seems to have lost it’s value for many these last four years and many are too lazy to spend the effort in finding it. With 70 mph wind gusts, good luck staying in your shoes, Monte! 🙂

I agree too many fail to check out what they may have heard or read. Especially if it resonates with our feelings. When we do not try to understand then it can be empty knowledge. The effort to find truth with worth the effort.
And, this wind, well, my hair’s a mess!
