Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday we attended a performance of Puccini's opera "Tosca" and watched while the bad guy, who looked like Brett Kavanaugh, I kid you not, tried to force Tosca to succumb to him in exchange for the life of her lover.  She got a little too upset, and stabbed him to death instead, which was gratifying, except, his promise to free her lover was a lie, and after she saw her beloved shot, she jumped from the precipice and died.  A great reminder that people are pretty much at the mercy of powerful men, even 150 years later.  Oh, well, the voices were terrific, as were the sets, and maybe Tosca had seen the movie "Thelma and Louise".  Now leaping off the tall building is not my idea of liberation, but I can see getting so frustrated it seems a good idea at the time.  Maybe Kavanaugh will see "Tosca" with RBG and have an epiphany.  Anything is possible.
