After an edited version of my coronavirus meditation started trending, some people asked my reaction. I watched it - and okay, I admit, it’s hilarious. After “Now go wash your hands” I laughed too. Next time I’ll say “lower torso!” Here is the actual video:youtube.com/watch?v=VPACQa…

Some have reminded me it’s not so much “the culture” as it is twitter. I think they’re right.

Here is the actual video. I doubt you’re interested in seeing it since you used an edit to create widespread mockery, but I hope you’ll show me the respect of watching. youtube.com/watch?feature=yo…

It’s like the entire culture has lost all impulse control. People go right for the biggest judgement, quick snarky comment, dumbest edit and meanest possible take on things. All this when depth and reflection, mercy and patience are the characteristics we need more than anything.

To those who mock, editing the words “penis & buttocks” like 10 yr-olds in the bathroom, here is from a text that means more to me: “I sent it to my 74 year old mother who is pressed w/ anxiety despite how I try to assure her that all's well...Your Meditation is such a Blessing.”

South Korea has tested 140,000 people for the coronavirus; the UK has tested over 25,000; the USA has tested between 5,000- 10,000. Much to be learned here.... youtube.com/watch?v=_uFAQ6dK…

But it IS about politics. Sorry if you cannot see that. Some governments have been effective at containing it, while others have not. And there are reasons for that.

Brilliant speech in both content and tone. Thank you, Bernie.
Together, we are going to build a nation based on justice and dignity for all. Join us live in Burlington for an update on our campaign: pscp.tv/w/cTe9oDMyNzU3OTl8MV…

There’s no “at least be open” here. If Joe is the nominee, I’ll be full on in support. But we’re not at that moment yet, and I honor both Bernie and his many supporters during what is for them a very disappointing moment. Let everyone have time to breathe in what’s happening.

Tell people to “fall in line”?! That’s the last thing I would ever tell anyone. Let the democratic process be the democratic process! Once the nominee is determined, there will be plenty of time for all of us to fall in line.

Value of age is it gives you visceral understanding that the journey never ends, the ultimate answer is never “No”, and new opportunities are endlessly creating themselves. Grief and loss at times are simply part of the process.

It’s a campaign/media industrial complex, as serious a form of corporate tyranny as any other. But don’t look at it as an unbeatable foe. Just look at it as a challenge we need to address in the years ahead.

We shouldn’t just be thinking “Who can beat Trump?” - because no one can really know the answer. We should be thinking “Who can help those young people?” - and that’s who can beat Trump.
