OS wishes everyone a restful Memorial Day weekend.
We need a respite in confusing times, and indeed we live in confusing times. Don't have the quote at hand, but Bonhoeffer observed that the phenomenon of darkness parading as light, vice claiming to be virtue, etc/, 'only confirms the wickedness of evil'.
Now there's a turn of phrase, from a man who lived during the darkest time of the 20th Century. OS has few heroes, but Bonhoeffer is definitely one of them. In spite of it all, he remained an optimist, one reason he is on that short list of heroes.
Hug the ones you love extry-good, and enjoy these days. The world will be waiting for us again on Tuesday morning, no doubt.
OS
