pickDon Lemon is a gorgeous man! In each chapter, he discusses our current political hellscape and the religious woes infused with it. In this administration, each publish feels outdated because things are unraveling so fast. The author talks about what loving your country versus being a nationalist means, and speaks heavily about faith and empathy in action versus Christian Nationalism. Whether you are a religious person or not, this is an⬇️
Nine years!! I ♥️ Litsy!! 🎉
pickI finished this tonight sitting on the back patio, listening to the birds, and enjoying our little slice of nature. I admire Bonhoeffer and there‘s a lot of wisdom in this slim book. His German idiosyncrasies do come through, as when he said “we should train ourselves to set apart for it a regular hour for [meditation] as we do for every other service we perform. This is not ‘legalism‘; it is orderliness and fidelity.” But much here is universal.
so-soI‘m not a huge reader of non-fiction and when I do read non-fiction, I tend to prefer books that read like stories rather than a list of facts. This was not a book that read like a story so I struggled to stay engaged. I did learn a fair amount about a subject for which had zero knowledge.
This was Jan‘s pick for our partner read this month (little known history) although which it was little known to me, it‘s not an obscure topic.

Yes, I worked for Starbucks from 1992 until I moved to Honolulu in 2001 to be a part of the partnership here & did that until 2009. Being in HR anywhere has its challenges but today‘s Haiku is about how glad I am I‘m not part of their new dress code & policy roll out. Like their new paper iced cups, not very well thought out & executed. 🫣😱🤐
Job regrets can stir,
Then I sip, sigh, grateful I‘m
not Starbucks HR…

so-so(2000) There's disappointingly little math here for a book titled “The Geometry of Love.“ But it's interesting for what it is: a discussion of a church, Sant'Agnese Fuori la mura near Rome, from as many perspectives as possible, ranging from architecture and art history to theology, hagiography, folklore, and personal response. It's interesting and occasionally fascinating. A bit unfocused for me, but arguably that's the point. Also: no pictures?
