My peaceful day.
Buddha statue in St. Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art, Glasgow and the poem "Soulcraft" by John McCulloch from his book "Reckless Paper Birds"
The Buddha's hand gesture is "calling the Earth to witness" and embodies his deep connection to nature.

Here comes another of my random "hey do I know any..." posts.
Hey, do I know anyone who knows about EXORCISTS?

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don’t have any belief, but you will usually find that somewhere down in a human being’s soul there is a belief in something beyond himself. In any case, I would not judge a man’s character by his belief or unbelief. I would judge his character by his deeds; and no matter what he said about his beliefs, his behavior would soon show whether he was a man of good character or bad.Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1956-08), “If You Ask Me,” McCall’s Magazine, Vol. 83

New from @drdrbrockman: When our nation’s Founders took the revolutionary step of creating a republic with no state #religion they likely never envisioned how religiously diverse the nation would become.
Now, that diversity, & the wall of separation that enabled it, are under attack: https://www.texasobserver.org/a-wall-thats-worth-defending/
