FD of St Bede (d 735), a monk in Northumbria. In his great History of the English Church and People he told the story of the arrival of Xty in the British Isles and its role in knitting together its disparate tribes and peoples into a common history, linked to the apostles.

I was so glad to have this deep conversation with 96-yr-old Br David Steindl-Rast, a modern spiritual master, about his new book, "You Are Here: Keywords for Life Explorers." @OrbisBooks @grateful_org piped.video/watch?v=UtoGPjeE…

I found this clip from an email taped to my dad’s computer. I sent it to him at a time of discouragement when he was ready to give up writing his book “The Doomsday Machine.”

So proud of my sister @MaryEllsberg, receiving Presidential Medal from George Washington University where she is Founding Director of the Global Women’s Institute. An epidemiologist and activist she has done much to document and elevate recognition of violence vs women and girls.

“Is there not a movie called Possum Day?” What’s it about? “It’s about a possum or some little creature who comes out.”
