From the west coast of 🇨🇦, Eddie, thank you for words that weave the edges to the center - the moral center, the center of choice. I am deeply moved by this reflection. Your sweet Mama will be in my prayers, as will you. We are so much a part of each other, and so much the more in family. May you, and we, carry these times with honor, mercy, courage, and abiding faith.

I am grateful for you.

"Strange melancholy" should pursue every human being because we continue to fail to learn. It's not just Americans or folks in rich countries. Not enough of us are seeing the truth. As you say, we choose to harm ourselves, choose to harm others. As always, we have met the enemy and he is us. Stay strong.

I hope your Momma beats her the cancer that has invaded her body. As to America…. I am a Veteran and am very worried for the Country I fought for 🇺🇸

"On July 4th, Donald Trump signed into law the so-called “big- beautiful bill” and the Guadalupe River suddenly swelled with anger and swallowed up at least 70 people, including 21 children, in Texas"🙇🏿‍♀️

If people only truly understood the power of this planet we are living on...

Prayers of light and vibrant health for your mother----🤍🤍🤍🩵🩵🩵

I am so sorry your mama is going through this. It’s awful. For her and for you. I am waiting for my first round of radiation for stage IV nsclc. Cancer, so insidious, so indiscriminate, has made me almost numb which is incredibly hard for my grown children and my husband. So I have decided to read about how I can help myself and get back to my life while I have it. Radical Remission by Kelly A Turner, PhD comes highly recommended, perhaps it could help your mother too.

All my best to you both.

Eddie, I have watched you and read your work for many years. Always, you seem to keep my spirit afloat. These times of trouble are compounding all around us. And still, your words comfort, fortify, and inspire.

Now it is time for all of us, your far off friends, to hold you up. Sending positive energy, love,

and strength to your dear mother, your family, and to you.

Thank you for all you do for this world.
