Happy Epiphany!
Today we celebrate the coming of the Wise Men as Christ is revealed to the gentiles.

If you want conversation on the insurrection, which was one year ago today, I'm available on Facebook. It feels like that's a more likely venue for ongoing conversation, comment threads, political memes, etc. Bloggers don't often come back to check comment threads here. I do continue to be disturbed by the attempted coup and the continued defense of it, but I don't choose my FB friends based on agreement with me on politics.

I don't think I've looked forward to Epiphany more than this year's ... Mr Man needed the sparkle of Christmas tree lights to last longer, but our agreement that they, the trees, would be put away today.
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised by some reports I saw yesterday that many, many Trumpters believe it was the Democrats that orchestred the riots at the Capital last year or that they believe the riots were organized by the FBI or all faked. I am sad for America that such denial is rampant because it means that unrest causing such a threat to your democracy is still unleashed & voting! (IMO).
We're undecorating today, too. A sad day in that way :(
DeleteThe refusal to accept reality is bizarre.
I like the memes of Three Wisewomen: they would have cleaned the stable, brought a week's worth of casseroles, brought diapers...
ReplyDeleteOr cash ;)
Delete...the Epiphany and the Insurrection, what a sad combination.
ReplyDelete:(
DeleteThis is beautiful -- I love the painting and music. I, too, am disturbed by the coup -- I will try to find you on FB.
ReplyDeleteSend me an email, and I'll send you my FB page link. My real name isn't Divers and Sundry ;)
DeleteHappy Epiphany to you also Nita. The music was beautiful. And I am also disturbed by the coup. I don't share lots of politics on my blog; some place has to be hopeful.But it is a scary time in our history, based on lots of propaganda.
ReplyDeleteWe'll always have Facebook ;)
DeleteWhat a beautiful song to share on Epiphany. One of my favorite Christmas carols. I have this saying. The difference between 9/11 and January 6 is, on 9/11, half the country wasn't rooting for the planes!
ReplyDeleteAnd YES, you and CJ are the only people whose blogs I return to read your comments. BTW, I don't have FB, just blogger.
People just don't seem to use blogger that way any more. Back when I first started reading blogs the comment threads would range far and wide and go on for months, long after the blog post author had quit participating. I enjoyed reading those comment threads. Now that's more a FB thing.
DeleteI never experienced that. But I got no to few comments for the first couple of years I posted. Now I sometimes wish life would go back to those "simpler" days. And I guess I didn't read the kind of blogs that "provoked" that type of reaction.
ReplyDeleteOh, not on _my_ blog lol If it weren't for you and your welcoming me into the T Tuesday fold I'd still get no comments. No, I'm referring to major figures, authors and such, who wrote blogs. They were quite a community back in the day. I think that kind of interaction has moved to Twitter.
