Noam Chomsky, the world’s treasure, is still with us.
But the idea of losing him has sparked some beautiful reflections.
“We’re in the middle of a genocide, Fascism is on the rise, and now this?” I was thinking (despairing, really) yesterday as messages about Noam Chomsky passing away were coming in.
Thankfully, those messages were false.
But my reflections aren’t.
That’s what I’m sharing with you today. So we don’t fall into that despair together. We really can’t afford it right now.
And we kind of owe it to Noam.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️
