On Mitote No: Countervailing Language Avalanches
Without some sort of tranquilizing intervention, our inner dialogue will mimic the outer dialogue around us; after all, that’s how we acquire language in the first place and “develop” it subsequently. I see this too as related to mitote, which we’ve explored elsewhere here at portfoliolongo.com.
There’s inner mitote, and there’s outer mitote. We’re up to our ears in mitote. Look at what happens metastatically within the comments section on many posts, the countervailing avalanches of polarized opinions mistaken for fact.
What triggers them? How do we tame them? How do we work through them? How do we work around them?
Celebrating Heart Party at Greenstone with New Friends
Yesterday’s Valentines Day gathering at Greenstone near Mariposa, CA was a celebration of the heart. When you’re new to a place, you catch life already in progress: the Heart Party, our generous hosts, the other guests, and its setting hit home in more ways than one.
A quick, morning, freehand sketch in Procreate based on an iPhone photo that I took yesterday when nobody was looking.

Reinhold Niebuhr: A Reality Check
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone;therefore we must be saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint; therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
