Nice, Caitlin...however, at 81 yo and burned out to the point of desperation and resignation (Ukraine, the MidEast [Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran...], SKorea, Taiwan-China, Panama, Greenland, the absolute chaotic/violent mess that is the US domestic scene, the advent of Trump and his chumps...), I feel that I'm past the time of "learning to relish each moment of life on this amazing blue planet and to suck in its air like a passionate lover." I pray that many others can and will take up the cudgel in a determined spirit of global "liberte, egalite, fraternite"....
Beat you by 10, Robert at 91. I do understand your comment.
My slight disagreement with your comment is based on my advocacy for Palestine which started with the USS Liberty in 1967 (and all that has meant to create the resulting Israel arrogance and total US subservience), which has been a long journey of some 57 years.
I would like to take it to its end (read 'my end') otherwise it would seem to have been a long journey (and lots of effort) for nothing
A perfect in-solidarity comment, sir, and best regards in return! Thank you...The Liberty massacre (6-08-'67) remains one of my prime heartaches anent Colonial Zionist Israel's -- yes, arrogant -- entanglement/takeover of the USA in its demonic genocidal agenda of ridding Palestine of Palestinians...and its expansion into the "Greater Israel" that is taking place before our eyes. We are all Palestinians now....
[I learned about Palestine and became a lifetime supporter of its people's rights and aspirations in 1964, and so your "...a long journey (and lots of effort) for nothing" resonates deeply and painfully....]
I'll be 80 this month, and learned about what Israel was doing when I was 14, so that was 66 years ago, back in the late 1950's when such information was hard to come by. I have never given up on trying to right the wrongs in human society, and have learned to find solace in the wild creatures wherever I can. I am completely convinced that, for me, and I hope those who also see and care, is an unswaverable path. To quote the late Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, "Keep the Faith, baby!"
For those who may not see whatI believe to be the start of the world's problems (other than all the American wars starting with Korea), that is the USS Liberty lies and criminal acts by Israel, may I suggest a search on the web for an interview by Candace with a survivor of the USS Liberty. Very recent, very illuminating very frightening to know what a Zionist President can do to his own country, now too far advanced to stop with 86% 0f politicians in the grip of the genocidsts.
I am sure that you and so many others have seen this crime by Johnson as the beginning of the creation of Israel, the most hated state in the history of the world.
I watched with rapt attention that interview by Candace Owens of Phil Tourney about 10 days ago. If anyone can -- at long last -- blow the lid off Colonial Zionist malevolence and tyranny, it should be CO and the audience (conservative, I took it) she represents.
Note: I appeared as a live radio guest on Phil Tourney's program (he in Seattle, I in Honolulu), somehow linking via telephone to his area's radio broadcasting. I'd guess that was 2015, maybe even as far back as 2007, the 50th marking of the Liberty's 1967 terrorization and wholesale slaughter by the CZ vermin. I also was co-producer on Honolulu's public-access TV system, about 6 years -- 2005-2011 -- of weekly pro-Palestine fare including the Liberty, "good" Israelis such as Dr. Jeff Halper, Shir Hever; also UK's Anthony Lawson, Australia's wonderful Antony Loewenstein, Palestine's Dr. Hatim Kanaaneh, and much more including John Pilger's circa 2002 51-minute video-documentary "Palestine is Still the Issue"...and indeed, Palestine is STILL THE ISSUE in this 2025.... (My personal revolted takeaway from "Palestine is Still..." was the footage of a Palestinian children's classroom where Ziogoons had--I think in that 2002 as part of the Second Intifada--smeared their feces on the walls. Worse, far worse than beasts....)
I am reading "I want a better catastrophe" about the inevitability of the coming climate disaster. Oddly it is very helpful for dealing with these feelings of despair.

Thank you. Your frequent postings in Caitlin's space are testament to your "never [having] given up on trying to right the wrongs in human society."

Yes, including Japan and Germany in WWII
It is worth the effort to see the interview

"It is not necessary to hope, to persevere."
We never get past the time to relish every moment of life that we have to live on this amazing blue planet. Keep relishing.
