Lao Tzu, a mystic, demystifies political power. Autocracy and oligarchy foster the beliefs that power is gained magically and retained by sacrifice, and that powerful people are genuinely superior to the powerless. Lao Tzu does not see political power as magic. He sees rightful power as earned and wrongful power as usurped. He does not see power as virtue, but as the result of virtue. The democracies are founded on that view. He sees sacrifice of self or others as a corruption of power, and power as available to anybody who follows the Way. This is a radically subversive attitude.

It was my night to run at my Thursday gaming group. When you run a game you always hope that the players enjoy what you put together (which they) and you feel a sense of accomplishment afterwards. I left the session feeling good.
Then I checked the news. That was a mistake. Sometimes it pays to stay out of the real world for a while.
P.S.: Happy birthday again. You know who you are.
Stay healthy and safe.

It’s 6:15 PM and 71 degrees outside. I have the windows open, trying to get some of the cooped up winter stink out of the house. I just heard an ice cream truck go through the neighborhood.
Usually once we get to March here we’re home free. Fingers crossed.
Stay healthy and safe.

It’s been refreshing to see the majority of Americans recognize autocracy for what it is and condemn it. I hope that continues.

Gloomy tyrants, we disdain all the terror you intend,
From Handel’s Athalia
all your fury will be vain, and in low confusion end!

Bleh. Ears are plugged, nose is stuffy, head is fogging up, stomach hurts, no energy, and some minor chills. Feels like it’s time for a case of the crud.
Stay healthy and safe.

Give the people of Ukraine credit; they’re putting up a helluva fight. Russia may win the war, but there’s an old saying about conquering versus governing.
Stay healthy and safe.
