@duanetoops @bookstodon yes! Faith and doubt, like light and dark, go together. You can’t have one without the other. If you have faith, you doubt. And if you doubt, you have faith.

@jbf1755 I’m confused about how to think about this. I think it’s important to have two functioning parties in a two party system. One says “forward into the future!” and another says “hold on to what we’ve built!” But the R party isn’t playing that role and is dysfunctional. So…is the inability to elect a speaker good, because I don’t want THIS R party to achieve its legislative goals? Or is it bad, because our government will be be brought to its knees by their dysfunction?

@jbf1755 I’m a regular listener of Now and Then. Very appreciative of what you do. Happy to have found you here.

@ToddRobinson Hmmm. I’m not a meditation teacher. Don’t many techniques include letting go of the technique?
