Pinned
Persephone has left
for the Underworld,
along with
the wildflowers,
she so gracefully
gathers.

Though their absence
is brief,
they are destined, each,
to return,
once again,
in the Spring.

Thirty years later, I still have to pinch myself to be sure I’m actually working at NASA, on Hubble’s successor, studying galaxies from deep field images that came directly as a result of this first one, this huge gamble that paid off. I’m so grateful. science.nasa.gov/asset/webb/w...

We woke to snow,
after our summer
had long past,
after autumn
had taken everything
from us

we looked desperately
to a spring
that would never
come again

finally accepting
winter &
the ending
it would bring

we kissed goodbye
beneath the
cold beauty
of snowflakes
falling gently

There’s always beauty in nature,
no matter what the temperature.

A quick write and photo from today. Tiny birds dot the sky ✍🏼📸🐦

Hold me
just a little longer
before I start
to fade away
Cusping light
with fingers
of shadow
embrace me
til the end of day

Eleven Herbs Awaiting

Various herbs
in Mason jars,
- remnants of autumn,
from my garden -
sit atop a buffet table,
awaiting to accentuate,
winter soups and stews.

Succumbing to
the owls’ pleas,
covetous trees,
eventually,
released the Moon,
reluctantly.

Wonder why that is.

They are coming after those of us in independent media because we speak the truth!!
And now apparently they’ve come to arrest Georgia Fort, another independent journalist!

Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

It was amazing meeting Don Lemon (@donlemonofficial.bsky.social) at Whipple today! Our conversation was wonderful, and I truly appreciate you coming to Minnesota to report the truth by talking with real Minnesotans like myself. 🧊💪💙

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I long for a time when laughter stayed longer than a day,
when memories don’t fade,

Inside the shadows
of silent sunlight,
the winding creek
whispers
tales of its travels,
while wandering
along,
a slumbering valley
of snowbound trees.
