Thousands of soldiers marching. Tons of tanks rumbling on the peoples’ streets, past a red-tie man, the entourage. Feted, while millions of feet throughout the great land marched in place, wherever it is they lived. Even here, in Hawai‘i. Not immune. No King, No! King. Minnesota shooting suspect “needed help” his friend says, CNN’s live feed report. As of midnight not yet found, this man. Grievance driven assassination, a public servant and husband, grievously injured public servant and wife. One tragic headline topping thousands of marching, millions of anyone but kings, eclipsing drones and missiles fired back and forth, Iran and Israel careen, direct hits in Tehran and Tel Aviv. Fired Farsi-speaking Voice of America staff recalled. All rage, storms. Only light rain blamed for the muted crowd as thousands of soldiers marched with tanks past a red-tie man with entourage. An extraordinary day. 14 June 2025

Or is it merely a careening chaotic moment for which there is no… No, no. Too early to conclude, in the way we humans are accustomed to immediately wanting, needing. Let us just take note, just mark the day. One extraordinary day.
