My latest blog post is on a topical matter:

All empires end

https://rinsemiddlebliss.com/posts/202 5-10-17-all-empires-end/

"All empires end" is also a statement of hope. If all empires end, then this situation, no matter how enduring, unstoppable, or inevitable it seems, will also end. "End" is a more hopefully word than "fall". Maybe we can choose to end it, voluntarily. Maybe we can take it apart.

A watercolor painting of several fall harvest vegetables, somewhat realistically represented but not photorealistic. Clockwise from the top left: a cranberry bean pod, a light yellow and green striped pumpkin, a mini eggplant, a knobby gourd with a long stem and bulbous body, and a mini orange pumpkin.
