My friend Kat was a girl of 8 when she, along with her mother and siblings, joined her father in Saigon, where he served with the CIA. Almost 50 years after that war ended, Kat is revisiting that time, that place, and those people. She is pieceing together a narrative from fragments of childhood memories and careful research which she plans to publish as a book. Thanks to her Substack, we are invited witnesses to her memories and her research. I encourage you to check it out. Denise
Rex Smith has a way of connecting our political upheaval with the vagaries of everyday life. With his excellent writing skills he pulls no punches when it comes to the reality of what we face as a democracy. And he manages to do this while still maintaining the clear-eyed, fair point of view of a former newspaper editor.
Are you looking for clear, positive steps you can make to save democracy? Jessica Craven provides these, while recognizing the importance of self-care and a positive spirit.
Hi, friends. If you enjoy the glimpses into the world of nature we share Gere at Walking on God then I think you might also like a brand new offering calked Naturelogues: Stories and Photos from Nature. Many of the posts will be from my husband Scott Stoner, an award-winning photographer and life-long naturalist, and I will sometimes contribute as well. I hope you will check it out!
