Reminds me of Abraham Joshua Heschel's phrase, "The prophet is a person, not a microphone." And Daniel Berrigan's plea that God send us "mystics with hands."
What a courageous man Alexei is! It seems to me that he might well have known a deeper truth about the TRUTH. The real TRUTH needs no defense….it just abides. It needs no support….it just endures. It needs no justification…..it just is. It needs no confirmation…..it remains true, even when denied.Jesus and some others like Abraham Lincoln, MLK, and Mother Theresa may well have known this too. We can relax a bit, just a bit, knowing the real TRUTH will outlast lies, half-truths, distractions, ignorance, falsehoods, exaggerations, dis-semblings, exaggerations, or under-estimations and mis-judgements. No one, just a few years from now, will remember most of the Supreme Court justices, nor most of the politicians now in office. Only the very few who highly esteem the TRUTH and confess the truth might be remembered. It really doesn’t matter who is remembered, after all, Love and Truth abide, all else just fades away, happily:).
*nods* In recent years, I've discovered there's a limit. I believe I'm up for an e-mail exchange with almost anyone. There are those, however, who...having publicly maligned me and/or having tried to get me fired from my job...need to apologize or offer me some assurances before I'll sit down with them (on a stage or in an eatery or a basement). I say this as someone who was once invited into a "man cave" outside of Williamson County to hash out perceived differences with a wealthy family. I'm here to help. But I'm not always sure when and where I can be a help. That said, I'd be interested in talking to Rod Dreher if he wishes to speak to me. I reviewed his first book.
I wonder if Mr Navalny was eager to get the technology of “dead men’s fingers” out of his head? It seemed he was tortured in ways that few will ever appreciate. Every night (if you knew it was night) rehearse every word, every move you must have memorized in order to negotiate something that has already been decided. The never-ending loss of life, energy and mental acuity.
“Did the lights dim?” Who was electrocuted?
FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM
It’s not always a violent struggle. If it moves to that arena, you have to understand the principles of non-violence.
With AI, we have breached our own supply of “fresh.” The word “tender” has been decimated.
The schizophrenic had posted. You can breathe, now.
Kasparov’s white queen moves in for the victory. (I don’t have that memorized yet, and since I have forgotten the actual game of chess, it is almost useless.)

He was a wonderful man. I often wonder what the world would be like if he were at Russia’s helm instead of the other guy.

*nods* I'm never sure what anybody knows, but yes. There is that which abides.
Thank You David!
Is their future room for a conversation between you and Rod Dreher about the phrase “Live Not by Lies”? I sure hope so.

Do you see my meaning?
