So far I’m nailing every award of #Oscars2021, even in categories where I didn’t see any of the nominees.

What if you lived with the knowledge that there was a bullet waiting for you—at any moment, in every routine action, and it didn’t matter what you were doing or how you responded? And all you wanted was to get home safe? @TwoDistantFilm

Apologies to the Nautilus Awards and other winners—in reading the fine print I discovered this was not to be public until next month. I’ll be good til then. 🥺

Rabbi Arthur Waskow has won a Gold Nautilus Award for his @OrbisBooks title, “Dancing in God’s Earthquake,” a book uncannily timed to address the year of COVID, #BLM, and pending climate catastrophe. See my interview with him here: piped.video/results?search_q…

I agree—these writings are quintessential Day! The Sixties were the backdrop for her distinctive blend of contemplative action. But also showed that being prophetic is about more than protest—also about announcing an alternative society, and trying to live by those values today.
What do they have in common? You generously endorsed them both! Honored to share that distinction with the brilliant work by @Prof_Keller— one of the best @OrbisBooks books I have published in 34 years. (And ditto for @trippfuller’s presentation!)

Where we were a year ago.
The master’s foreman was alarmed by the question: Was it possible that injections of arsenic might increase productivity among the peasants? But the master later explained that the question was asked sarcastically, “just to see what would happen.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Then I would have called it "the shocking inside story by the 13-year-old boy who changed history and won the hearts of millions." Too much?

Not quite the "complete story." Hope it stimulates reading of my Dad's memoir, "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers." A classic story of conversion.

Jim Forest has won a Nautilus Award for his memoir "Writing Straight with Crooked Lines," in which such figures as Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Daniel Berrigan all play major roles. @OrbisBooks Here is an interview I did with him: bit.ly/3gBpdzJ
