No Impact Man

Dear friends, I don't say this often but I am scared. Not scared to the point of paralysis. Not scared enough to run away. Not scared enough to stop trying to help. Not scared enough to think we're doomed. I was lucky when Hurricane Sandy hit. That night, the lights flickered a couple of times. But when I woke up, lower Manhattan was flooded and without power. We in the Tri-State Area didn't get Katrina. Yes, there are some good parts. But there is a lot of suffering. I hung up the phone with a friend just a few minutes ago. In a coffee shop this afternoon, everyone at every table was talking about climate change. Katrina, Irene, Sandy, droughts all summer, busted corn crops, water shortages in the southwest: it's hard to believe we aren't seeing what the climate scientists predicted. It feels ironic and sad.

Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. Luna is not just mommy. But there is more to women than this. Two Little Points

I had a very funny discussion once during my Deutsch fur Auslanders class with a Muslim classmate. “Lord, no,” I said, “I’m Jewish.” “Oh, honey,” I said, “Don’t look at me like that. Most of the time it didn’t trouble me to be in a tiny minority. Instead, I emailed the nearest synagogues, one in Salzburg, one in Graz. It’s my favorite holiday, it’s full of stories and good food.
