“Cavilings” means petty complaints or nitpicky objections. Think small arguments that miss the bigger picture. Don't see that word too often nowadays!

Thanks for reading my Light Waves and for your kind comments. It can be a challenge to sort out what is important and what is just cavilings by the current collection of lickespittles, who really work hard at creating distraction.

Sulima-Indeed they are doing their work to keep us overwhelmed and numbed. I find myself there sometimes and appreciated your post. It helps keep my attention tunes into all of the amazing and important topics you discussed 💕

Thanks for posting Amanda Gorman's tribute! I have Renee Good's poem on my fridge. It is wonderful to me, who loved being a student too, and moved past bibles, and keep them both years later.

Thank you, Maya. Another word that Thom Hartmann likes to use is "lickspittle". Do you know that one too?
