Excellent Zoom as usual Ruth! I wanted to pass on a possible item/topic for your consideration. Maybe consider an interview/discussion with Timothy Frye author of Weak Strongman. His book focuses on what Putin cannot do. I’d be interested in your take in an article after you’d spoken. Thank you
Great Zoom, thanks Ruth! There was something you said about being in discourse with a Trump supporter or someone more center right who is not entrenched. —>To say the truth, then to listen to what they say, then bring it back to the truth. I’m not sure if I got the middle part right as I was distracted by the family hamster nearly escaping(!). But I think it’s a long road talking with people we know. I think it was Steven Haasan who said it is good to ask them if their lives have changed for the better under the Trump years and if there was anything that disappointed them, to give them an out from a cultish devotion or impaired discernment (assuming they are good people). Time is of the essence though. I wonder if corporations can be influenced to stop monetarily backing Republicans and see the better good for Americans. There are some signs of that but it may not lack or it may be all talk.
If it is indeed a house sparrow, well, this could mean the following... (note, these are NOT my words) but hey, you never know...
The sparrow represents hard work, diligence, productivity, and persistence. They also stand for the caution and courage that you so much desire to express. With this spirit guide in your life, you are able to express creativity, talent, and intelligence. The sparrow comes into your life to remind you to be happy.
It looks like a house sparrow. I have many noisy sparrows in the hedge by my house. Very social birds, they always seem to be having heated conversations. Sorry I can’t join the chat, but that “work thing” always gets in the way.

The bird is a female House Finch.
