Sunday morning comments

This short note opens the Comment section on Sunday morning. It’s been a tough week. Please be respectful. Better yet, be kind!
The image below features the Bubble Nebula in the center and M52 in the upper right. M52 is an “open cluster” of stars that are gravitationally bound.
The Bubble Nebula is 7,100 light years from Earth. The “bubble” is created by stellar winds from a massive central star.
M52 is 4,600 light-years from Earth and was formed about 158 million years ago. (In comparison, our solar system is about 4.6 billion years old.)
Enjoy!
Lately I have been thinking that while President Biden is still in office, a massive marketing campaign needs to take place. It needs to market what the Biden-Harris administration has accomplished. I say market because it needs to be exciting for people to hear and remember.
As a person of faith, I have been awakened by the grief, anger and sadness around the élection. I contribued time, money, wrote letters and postcards, and am looking to join or start a résistance group where I live. The wakeup call I got was around my addiction to the news screens and YT political commentaire. I realized that I was wasting precious time checking the news constantly. The same needs of humanity which were critical to be addressed before the élection are still in place today. I am called to use my energy to help my brothers and sisters in our human family as much as I can. So I am re-dedicated to using my time more efficiently to both résist against all things MAGA; and in a larger context, to continue to address the urgent humanitarian crises happening right now, in this country and around the world. I will resist...and will not let one sick man and has sick supporters get me down, or weaken my response to the Creator's call to réspond with love, clarity, and service to others.
