monday

1- I have no idea where I’m going but here’s the real question: What am I doing here in the first place? – Art Buchwald

2- there’s no I in team
just as there’s no WE in
some marriages.

3- Trump often enough
almost sounds intelligent
till he goes off script.
Yep, he has metrics in
his head, instincts in
his gut and nothing in
where his heart should be.

sunday

1- Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive. – C.S, Lewis

2- it’s soon obvious
with some, that conversation
will be one-sided

3- he uses words to
try to sound intelligent
but they’re not his words.
must be the metrics in his head.

saturday

1- The body is the soul as perceived by the five senses. – William Blake

2- why does it matter
where I was born?
I left as a child
so it would explain nothing.

3- Big Trump decision soon:
send people back to work too soon
to maybe improve the economy (his numbers)
or have the pandemic start over again?
Money? People?

friday

1- Recognize what is in your sight and what is hidden will become clear to you. – Jesus

2- they were equal once
but the relationship
soon changed that.

3- Trump, asked what the metrics
were for future plans dealing
with Covid19 and getting money
to small businesses and the
unemployed, pointed to his temple
and said the metrics are all in here
and they’re good ones.
I guess he didn’t understand the
question or there are no plans.

thursday

1- To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time. – Leonard Bernstein

2- the quick change in eyes
as they realize they’ve been seen,
however briefly.

3- Trump really wants that money
for himself, for his failing
hotels, and tries like hell to
insure there will be no oversight
committee no matter how many people
he’ll have to fire. It’s always
about him and screw the public, even
his 40% group of followers. They’ll
see the real soulless Trump pull through.

wednesday

1- Sometimes the sins you haven’t committed are all you have left to hold onto. – David Sedaris

2- what it means often
means les to me than how
it affects me.

3- The only time Trump speaks
with any emotion in his voice
is if he’s berating someone
or speaking about how great
he is and he’s constantly
repeating himself.
If he’s reading something prepared
for him or off a teleprompter, it’s
flat and emotionless. He’s an empty
vessel.

tuesday

1- Several excuses are always less convincing than one. – Aldous Huxley

2- at what point does seeing
it completed in mind only
no longer be enough?

3- the only real
preparation Trump does is
gathering the lies needed
to cover the truth of what
has or is really happening.
he says what he thinks
the people want to hear
and not what they need to hear.

monday

1- The images we create could turn into wild beasts and tear us to pieces. – Rumi

2- familiarity:
what goes around comes around
but not always soon enough.

3- When Trump tells doctor
Fauci not to answer a question,
what answer is he afraid of,
or would it make his answer
to the same question sound foolish?
Trump recommending drugs without
a medical degree – could it border
on criminal?

sunday

1- Reality is perceived through your own body. – Vimalakirti Sutra

2- sometimes I forget
what I heard minutes ago.
sometimes I want to.

3- follow the money
especially if there’s no
oversight committee.
(how much will go to
the Trump hotels?)

saturday

1- The self shines in space through knowing. – The Upanishads

2- the older you get
the colder you get
unless you’ve always been

3- Trump can’t even fake
compassion or caring for
others in this time of
pandemic. He reads printed
words in a halting monotone,
as if caring and language
were foreign to him.
Or is it that the words
aren’t about him but others?
