If your faith can be shaken by the posture of someone else during a song, change your posture and keep your eyes on God. We were not born to be a nation of flag worshippers or flag burners, nor protest haters and protest baiters. We are united whether we like it or not.   Keep the faith. Lose the rhetoric.

I saw Earth Wind & Fire in 1978 only because my sister had an extra ticket. It was incredible. But I've always had to work on concert nights in the years since.

Dream #3,233 A man drags what looks like an elephant trunk next to the pavilion at Ala Wai Park. Ala Wai Elementary School parking lot is flooded with orange mud. A baby elephant is flailing next to a wall. What the hell... she turns around. The trunk is missing.  I run around looking for an answer. A vet will do surgery tomorrow on the baby elephant to reattach the trunk. #windycoldnight #strangedreams
