You make such a deep impression. There’s so much of you in your writing. Old enough to be your parent, you frighten and astonish me at the same time with your knowledge and insights. The threats and risks you take for us. Like the rest of us, I feel you are mine.
Let me parrot Jan's words. I've read each of Sarah's books several times until the messages have blended somewhat into a much larger message. I do have one visual memory that comes from either 'Flyover Country' or 'Hiding' in which she recounts a homeward walk with her young family along a well-known suburban street in front of a well-known community park with a beautiful pool building. (I've spent my youth and young adulthood splashing around in that pool.) It is the image I keep that says that regardless of the intentional corruptions around us, there is/are good people along our paths. That reinforces my sense of hope and truly blurs the looming storms of each new day. Can't wait for the next volume; hope you'll do another discussion get-together with this new one.
Thank you very much — and the community pool is back for an appearance in the first chapter of THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP! Me and that pool, I’m like Tony Soprano and his ducks…
That fits well in that Winslow, AZ song. Then again there is a Cabin in the Woods and a Ketu Rahu portal somewhere in District 1 Texas. Henley really should have gotten rolling credit somewhere in release of the movie Caddo Lake.
The Mist by King had been filmed around this Hotel California area as well. Now the M. Night crowd doing a movie about portals.
The King adaptation movie from Tom’s grocery was so good. I think Night and King are now in a portals opened by military that wasn’t supposed to be opened competition.
Thank you so much, Sarah. I have been following your brilliant, humane, courageous truth-telling work for several years now, with enormous appreciation and inspiration. I have read all your books (more than once), have given copies to others, and can't wait to receive and read your newest. I wish you and your dear family a peaceful, healthy holiday season, and may the new year be full of HAPPY surprises for all of us. Even one happy surprise might suffice at this point! With love and admiration-- Elizabeth
Sarah, thank you. I love your beautiful writings and the cogent Cassandra messages you’ve given us over the years. I don’t know what my emotional state re our country will be when your book arrives in the spring, but I anticipate the read will be one to savor in my little nook. Grateful for that. We all must emulate your courage and ground ourselves in the coming months. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season with your family.
I told a friend about your books and your newsletter and let her know she could read your newsletters because there is no paywall. That is so rare these days. She got back to me and said she really learned a lot, and she became a paid subscriber. What impressed her the most was your courage.
Thank you! I remember passing that sign in 2019 and making my husband pull over so I could get a picture. It was too perfect. In retrospect, ominous, as covid had arrived but we did not know it yet.
Thank you, Sarah, for all you do. I am not very good at keeping up with reading on the regular. I think my short attention span is due to simply being overwhelmed by all that is/has been going on. I do however enjoy reading your writing, and insight. I have two kids who I am constantly concerned about now. Not only because of the changing landscape, but because they are right in the crosshairs of who the GOP targets. My only consolation is the fact that I know that there are others who feel like I do, and I am not alone. Hopefully you will go on a book signing tour for your new book next year. Looking forward to reading it and having it join your other books on my shelf! Wishing you a lovely holiday with your family. Stay safe. You are an essential part of this world.
Thank you as always Sarah, for your courage and unblinking clarity. I have been a reader for several years but became a subscriber this year and I feel it is the least that any of us can do to support you in this way. I have wondered how it is possible to be a parent with open eyes in this foul time, and I admire your capacity to touch the better and more tactile parts of experience on behalf of your kids, your community, and all of us. You have my complete support and many of us will fight for you to be able to retain your courageous voice. I am very grateful.
Thank you Sarah. You were the first person I remember to call out the darker threats underlying the first Imperium. Now we are entering the second, I feel much better equipped to understand what's likely ahead and how I can better hold on as the fabric of the country is ripped apart. You are a hero.
Thank you Sarah for shining your light on dark times. How wise to use the simple beauty of nature and art to releive the gloom of where the world is at politically. Have a very happy holiday.
I appreciate you. You're a touchstone for me. I subscribed today.
Please be safe and well. We need to hold on for as long as we can to what makes us human. As you continually point out, there's still a lot of good in us. I continue to believe that goodness can prevail, but it's a tough fight.
good morning and happy holidays with your family! thank you so much for your writing. Your articles always make me think about the state of things and mull over ideas. i am trying not to dwell on the upcoming year too- hard not too. i have to put it aside to some degree while i focus on finding healthy housing so i am thankful for your articles and independent media to stay more aware, even at a high level. i should not be shocked but the number of posts i see on twitter where people spout off that there is a plan in the works to keep him from taking office. ridiculous - guessing grifters. and friend i live with keeps saying he is concerned but still doesn't agree the institutions are failing. he will be in for a rude awakening. i have what i guess one would call anticipatory grief - i just feel the bad stuff coming in my core. all the best for you and your family!
Thanks for both your writing and your photography. Born at Barnes with early childhood in Berkeley before a parental divorce and remarriage relocated us to Edwardsville, Missouri was my playground for the first 18 years of my life. I am all but certain that I know which two of those magnificent boulders you were standing between for that photo at Elephant Rocks though it has been 35 or more years since I last visited.
Thank you for your beautiful use of language which makes it more possible for me to intellectually and emotionally handle the truths you reveal-which is challenging in my seventh decade on this beautiful sphere.
(With absolutely no qualifications to do so I disagree with your editor regarding your book cover 🤣)

Thank you very much — and the community pool is back for an appearance in the first chapter of THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP! Me and that pool, I’m like Tony Soprano and his ducks…
Goosebumps. All of this.
WAH! Jan, you made me cry a little.
Amen...
Please keep writing in this Mean Time! We need to hear your voice.
I plan to! I've got one group wanting to kill me, one group wanting to censor me, and one group wanting to read me so let's hope the last group wins!
One that wants to kill me, one that wants to censor me, one that wants to read me — sounds like new words for an old Eagles song!
Hahaha well Don Henley inspired the style of THEY KNEW, apparently he never left my subconscious!
That’s funny. My first serene thought was, it’s a girl my lord in a black bed ford…then quickly blurred and morphed into that other song.
One that wants to kill me,
One that wants to squelch me,
And one that reads me all the time
That fits well in that Winslow, AZ song. Then again there is a Cabin in the Woods and a Ketu Rahu portal somewhere in District 1 Texas. Henley really should have gotten rolling credit somewhere in release of the movie Caddo Lake.
Y’all give it a watch if you haven’t already.
The Mist by King had been filmed around this Hotel California area as well. Now the M. Night crowd doing a movie about portals.

Your thoughts and words are always welcome in my house. I sincerely hope the group that values reading and understanding triumphs above all.

Thank you! What I would give for a happy surprise...Hope you have a great holiday too!

Well stated, Sue.
“Emulate Sarah’s courage and ground ourselves”, indeed!
Thank you both!

That is so nice to hear -- thank you! Tell her thank you too
That last picture! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Great essay too!
Thank you! I remember passing that sign in 2019 and making my husband pull over so I could get a picture. It was too perfect. In retrospect, ominous, as covid had arrived but we did not know it yet.
It says it all. Timeless, really.

I don't believe in heroes...but thank you anyway! And thank you for reading and paying attention. My best to you!
I just dig all your writing. Thank you Sarah
Thanks for reading!
Happy Holidays, Sarah. I am grateful for you and this community.
Happy holidays to you too Ronna!
Your eloquence keeps me clinging to the last shreds of sanity. I have become an amateur Cassandra under your tutelage. And that keeps me vigilant. 🙏🏼
Thank you Sarah for shining your light on dark times. How wise to use the simple beauty of nature and art to releive the gloom of where the world is at politically. Have a very happy holiday.
Thanks! You too
