Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the week: From Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) writer, activist, and noble prize winner and most relevant to the meaning of this quote, a holocaust survivor.
