"The Truth Is...'
"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." - M. Scott Peck
The Poet: Ruth Feldman, “Detour”
*“Detour”* “I took a long time getting here, much of it wasted on wrong turns, back roads riddled by ruts. I had adventures I never would have known if I proceeded as the crow flies. Super highways are so sure of where they are going: they arrive too soon. A straight line isn't always the shortest distance between two people. Sometimes I act as though I'm heading somewhere else while, imperceptibly, I narrow the gap between you and me. I'm not sure I'll ever know the right way, but I don't mind getting lost now and then. Maps don't know everything.” - Ruth Feldman

The true measure of your education is not what you know, but how you share what you know with others." - Kent Nerburn

Why Trump's Iran Strategy Puts America on the Road to Nowhere Good

Getting our military out of Korea is sound and overdue. It may also allow North Korea to save face and reunite with the south. This also sets the stage for a complete withdrawal from all of SE Asia.
