Happy Martin Luther King, Jr Day!!!
First, be kind to yourself.  Then, if you are able, perform one act of service for another person.  Be the change you wish to see.    —    kmab

And The Struggle Continues

Posted in Philosophy, Politics, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 10, 2025| 2 Comments »

The struggle is always between the individual and his sacred right to express himself and the power structure that seeks conformity, suppression, and obedience.

The Limits Of Tyrants

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 10, 2024| Leave a Comment »

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.  Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground.  They want rain without thunder and lightning.  They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters.
The struggle may be a moral one or it may be a physical one, or it may both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.  Power concedes nothing without a demand.  It never has and it never will.  Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them;  and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.  The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
    —    Frederick Douglass

Proof On A Creaky Day

Posted in Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 15, 2023| 4 Comments »

Work is slower than it used to be, and I know that I do things partly in order to prove that I am still alive enough to finish them.  I’m working hard, and I think you are too.  I honestly believe that there are things that make the long experience worth struggling through, although now and then, on a creaky day, it is rather difficult to accept what are too loosely called “the rewards of old age.”  I don’t mind looking old, but at times I resent the infirmities of the Aging Process.
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, age 73
Letter to Lawrence Powell, 18th Apr 1982
From the book:  “M.F.K. Fisher:  A Life in Letters“

Even Tiny Progress

Posted in Diets, Health, Other Blogs, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 21, 2018| 2 Comments »

The struggle is a normal, necessary part of the process.  Changing your food is hard.  Changing your habits is even harder.  Changing your relationship with food is the hardest part of all.  The process requires struggle — it’s how you know you’re growing — but don’t make it harder than it has to be!  There is no such thing as the ‘perfect Whole30,’ so if your beef isn’t grass-fed or your travel meal doesn’t look exactly like our meal template, don’t sweat it.  Your only job is to stick to the Whole30 rules for 30 days, and some days, you’ll have to let good enough be good enough.  When you do struggle, remember why you took on the program in the first place, and don’t be overwhelmed by the big picture — just focus on the next day, or the next meal.  Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it, and high-five yourself for the victories you’re achieving every day you’re on the program, no matter how small.  Even tiny progress is progress.
     —    Melissa Hartwig

Just Support

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
